I've just finished a prototype/demonstration gig for a large corporate here
in Sydney. 500 seats, desktop and server side. They were *very* impressed,
and our 3 year TCO was significantly less than Microsoft's (who sent in
their own men, because they didn't want to leave it to some random IT
company - they have a lot to lose on this).

The interest is there. The solution is not. :-)
