Correct. Dual-boot configurations are marginal, because Microsoft has made it that way.

No, they're marginal because consumers only want and need a single OS.

So, alone, my hundreds of servers are not significant. But multiplied by the thousands of other VARs around the country, the numbers add up.

I love how Microsofties love to ignore history when they make their lofty pronouncements.

Compaq sold their dual-boot kit with every server. Every one. Seems like there was a need and a want then.

Then Microsoft put a gun to their head and it stopped.

Sure. Provided that Microsoft actually complies with the ruling, which, based on their history, is highly doubtful.
