Story: Longhorn and the Linux long-game

Hey highschool boy...
'If Longhorn is too similar, why upgrade? How AWFUL' - Then why have microsoft had to FORCE business's to upgrade to SP2... does it sound like every business is wanting a new upgrade/os's??
Your theory is ok in a company with 2-3 computers where upgrade costs are a few hundred $$, but large corperations/governments with 10,000-100,000 computers need more than a new fancy looking os before shelling out millions of dollars, and they hear the new microsoft security plan/initiative every day.....(followed by the news the next day that it has been cracked)
Granted Microsoft is the most sucessfull os so far, but look back in history... Every major IT company that held the top-spot has fallen off the top-spot, dont think it couldn't/wouldn't happen....
