how many businesses are using netbooks?

so i found this article about ipads...but i haven't found anything else about netbooks yet...but basically the article is about a poll that was sent out by this company called Citrix. Citrix is:

"Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS) is an American multinational corporation that provides server and desktop virtualization, networking, software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud computing technologies for more than 230,000 organizations worldwide. Customers include the world’s largest Internet companies, 99 percent of Fortune Global 500 enterprises, and hundreds of thousands of small businesses and consumers worldwide. Citrix partners with over 10,000 companies worldwide in more than 100 countries. Founded in 1989, annual revenue in 2008 was $1.6 billion."

They sent out a poll and although it might be biased a tad bit because the people responding to the poll probably are customers of Citrix, this is what they found out...it's pretty interesting.
