You probably remember how angry certain parties were when Oracle announced their unbreakable linux, right ? Weren't we sure that Linux, running on intel hardware would conquer the world and beat all other os's to it's own game ?
Well, things are slightly different today. Linux runs on almost anything that has a processor, watches included, and is slowly getting more and more promising. Although I do not believe in virtualization, I do believe that the future of linux partly lies in building alternative networks. We all know it's possible and very reliable, but why doesn't anyone offer a linux cluster built on Xboxes or PSP's as a professional solution to enterprises ?
The answer is not in Linux. The answer lies in people. They simply don't have the guts to be different. I think you could find clients prepared to accept radical solutions, as long as there is a business case behind it for support.
