Increase in demand for Linux talent may indicate an increased use of Linux. It also sends up a flag for existing MS shops that says "Don't bother cause you won't be able to hire easily".
A significant chunk of MS's total cost of ownership argument is the wages of Windows admins versus Linux admins. This news only gives that argument more weight at least in the short term.
