Intel presentation content suggestions?

[Matt Alexander]

I'm mostly interested in how Intel is making use of Linux within the
company.  Are any of their production servers running Linux?  Are any
user's workstations running Linux?  If not, are there plans in the future
for using Linux internally on production systems, and not just for testing
network card compatibility, etc.?  Does IT have plans to support Linux as
a desktop option?  If not, why?
Thanks,
~M
