I last spoke to Jim Jarvie back in October 2002 (the driving force behind open-source in the Central Scotland Police). From memory, he had the usual mix of Linux on servers and a few hundred desktops with MS-Windows and Star Office. His successor, David Stirling has reached a different conclusion as to the value of Star Office on the desktop - but then no-one ever got fired for buying Microsoft.
