Even Linux-loving firms deploy OS to only one-fifth of employees

Half of the businesses that have deployed Linux on the desktop have rolled it out to less than 20 per cent of their workers due to perceived and real obstacles, according to a survey released today by UK analyst firm, Freeform Dynamics. http://www.freeformdynamics.com/

Power-using office workers, mobile professionals and creative types such as graphic designers were the least likely to accept Linux on their PCs, according to Freeform.
