IMHO, if Linux will suceed as a popular desktop OS, it needs to move into the office spaces first. It is harder to convince a home user to use it, because of software compatibility, dirver support and a more difficult install process.
In an office environment, with a limited software suit being needed by the user and techs available to install and upgrade these should be less of a drawback.
