business' rarely upgrade, it cost more to switch to a new software version imagine switching OS it'll be a nightmare. yes linux is free but you have to think about the support need, 3rd party software, and training existing employees. Normally a company wont bother upgrading if everything is running fine. I still see windows NT 2000 on computers 10yrs later (i believe it came out in 1999)
