>>| employees are increasingly using personal laptops and devices to access
>>| enterprise applications and resources. "No single device is used

>>| researchers wrote in the report. Approximately 14 percent of personal
>>| laptops being used in the enterprise run a Linux distribution. In addition,
>>| 23 percent of personal tablets and over half of the personal smartphones in
>>| the enterprise run Android, according to the report. In this slide show,
>>| eWEEK lists some of the Linux-based operating systems and distributions that
>>| every IT manager should be familiar with.

Ha. They'll try their divide and conquer approach (they=many sockpuppets). :-)
Failing that, intimidation by libel marathon/tourism.
