"At this point, they can market themselves as the only rational choice for corporate Linux support..."
I'm not sure how relevant this is to Debian.
Its current, official support window of "through 1 year after the release of the next version" (with an additional LTS experiment for squeeze at the moment) is just too short for corporations running Linux in production, especially if you get started anywhere near the release of the next version. E.g. right now I'm helping a non-profit corporation upgrade from squeeze to wheezy, and the prospect of doing that again in less than two years means it probably won't be moving to jessie.
How many orgs out there are really happy with Debian's short support windows?
