I do plenty of product research, hours per day, and I don't want you doing research for me because i believe you lack some basic concepts of what my small business clients need, especially what they would need to transition from Windows to Linux.

By an utterly amazing coincidence, I'd already concluded that you either lacked some basic faculties required of someone doing rational analysis (let alone a client), or were trolling. In all charity, I've been willing to assume the latter. But I'm willing to go for either one.

Speaking of which, you'll note that I'm cleverly declining your current attempt to troll debate on "desktop Linux" in the broad sense.
