Some Canonical guy I think many years ago mentioned this as their sales strategy a few year ago after a particularly nasty Windows outage:
We don't ask customers to switch all systems from Windows to Ubuntu, but to consider moving maybe a third to Ubuntu so they won't sit completely helpless next time Windows fail spectacularly.
While I see more and more Ubuntu systems, and recently have even spotted Landscape in the wild I don't think they were as successful as they hoped with that strategy.
That said, maybe there is a silver lining on todays clouds both WRT Ubuntu and Linux in general, and also WRT IT departments stopping to reconsider some security best practices.
