I can think of 1 reason for it!
Because it is FREE! Why pay £100 per copy of win xp when you have a workgroup of over 250 networked computers! With linux, it costs them nothing!

It doesn't mean they'll switch.
Naturally, the more governments and companies look for alternative operating systems, the more
Microsoft will try to persuade them to stay in their products.
