Plus, there's more exposure and longer hours.

The simple logical substitution of running Linux on less expensive hardware does not play out on the client. Businesses don't look at the client and say they want to make a 100 percent crossover from client to client, unless I can do something to improve the workflow and lower the cost of execution and the cost of ownership. Some of the simple models that drove server adoption will not drive client adoption.

Saying that stocks are cheap relative to an asset class that itself is really expensive -- that's a fragile comfort.
