Very true, and I see Linux fragmentation become more and more of a
problem. Many people would like to move off Windows for all kinds of
reasons, it's just that the thousands of Linux distros just don't seem
to want that business. Go figure!

Luckily we are in a franchising business, so we can control out
deployment OS with some control. We motivate our franchisees to use
Ubuntu if they decide to go the Linux route. At least that way our
support staff can help them for free.

I agree. Some things have improved, but others have not. And with every
Tom, Dick and Harry wanting his own "distro" doesn't help the cause much.
