Good for you...

That's arguable at best. The chances are that corporation do not want to spend money on re-training current and new employees; be that Apple and-or Linux. They don't need to do it now for Windows and the applications running on it for the most part.

At least Linux is making inroads and progress, unlike Apple

Apple lost to Windows on cost and so did Novell with they IPX-SPX. . Keep in mind that if the corporations can buy computers that full fills their needs at 30-40% discount comparing to Apple, they will not spend the extra money. You can blame M$ as much as you want, it won't change that.

Linux might replace Windows on the desktop sometimes in the future; Ubuntu is a step in the right direction in my opinion. There are still a number of things such as, uniformity, end users' acceptance, productivity software, etc, that need to be in place. Interestingly the industry switching back to the client-server model with browser based clients is actually helping this process. The Linux is making progress in the end users' acceptance area and once the productivity software catches up, the temptation (a.i. cost savings) for IT managers will be hard to ignore. Some impatient IT managers want to do it now, but it is cost prohibitive at the current time, not to mention some of the technical difficulties.
