I definitely see SLED fitting in places like duPont (where I once 
contracted).    They have many engineers who need the basic desktop and 
office functions but who want a scientific and engineering quality 
workstation.

This was the market for WinNTPro, XPPro and so on.   But I think many of 
them, who often have a lot of say in what software/systems they can use, 
would want to adopt something like SLED 10.
