Interesting article
   

Look at this:

"LP: What does IBM see as Linux's most popular markets right now?

Stallings: One of the two biggest markets that we've seen over the past 
year for Linux adoption are in the financial services. Those companies 
in those sectors have been under a tremendous amount of pressure to 
consolidate and improve their costs--go to a different operating model 
and take advantage of the Internet. That's a big, big Linux market for us.

The other sector is the government, or public sector, which would 
include health care, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, as well as the 
University education system. Those are early adopters, but the 
opportunities there are tremendous, and that's another big business for 
us. "

University education system...
   you K12 schools need to buy more mainframes! ;-)

The article was good. It may be useful if someone has to justify 
k12ltsp, you can say IBM said they got their $1B back and that IBM finds 
Linux on the plans of more than one company.
