What about the fact that for Enterprise style people, they don't like upgrading hardware? I know for sure some places still run NT because they don't want to upgrade the hardware for 2000 or XP?
Does someone who does nothing at work but type up memos and maybe run an email client REALLY need a machine that is capable of running Doom3 just to do this? No.
Do I want Microsoft knowing this? No.
They don't need to know. Let them set near pysychotic requirements, and let people realise even the newest version of SUSE can still run on older hardware.
