Convincing Big Orgs about Linux - me too (Score 2)

I gathered together the below links as part of an exercise to convince my 'big org' that Linux is to be taken seriously. Just glancing at most of these links provides some compelling cases as to how far it has come and how committed everyone is from governments (France Japan China etc:) to most in the industry (except MS).

I like the clasifications shown at the top - also did my own.

Hope these provide some help......
