Cut the chit chat, post the link

..and who is gonna pay for all the training for these office workers???

edit......to expand on that.......it wouldn't surprise me if someone like a major UK insurance company is running many thousands of desktops.

I can see a nice premiums hike to cover the cost as the company sure as heck wouldn't take the hit.

Linux network admins......thousands of os rollouts....training.....it would all add up to a pretty penny.

Sounds like an elitist attitude to me.....kinda like saying if you use Windows you are dumb.

Which is just plain wrong.........wether I use windows OR linux I am still dumb

nah...using windows doesn't make you dumb. windows itself is slowly improving, but they're going to need a complete overhaul in things i'd think in order to really make much of a difference these days. from all i can tell with their newer versions, make a few tweaks and put a different look on it, and charge everyone another hundred bucks for something "new".


comment about your edit...i haven't been paying much attention, but haven't there recently been a few companies and possibly governments that started switching over to linux? they probably did have reasons...i'd think long run cost would be lower in running linux than windows...

My point was that it would not be them bearing the cost of the migration....but their customers......and when these "long term savings" kick in.....do you think the savings would filter down to customer level???
