I think they are more worried about enterprise Linux server installs, 
which go beyond that puny 1% mark.  Even if the Linux is serving a 
primarily Windows desktop network, it doesn't bode well that such 
desktops are not trapped to proprietary Microsoft server solutions.

It means suddenly Visual Studio developers may be targetting MySQL or 
PostgreSQL databases rather than SQL Server, for instance.  Heck, they 
may end up even using open-source libs rather than what's in the Windows 
API if control is too loose over them... :P
