Here's a strategy for ya! The following occured in Germany when a local municipality chose to dump Windows and go to Linux in all their their offices.
"Once the migration was completed, though, there were concerns that the open-source software would be harder to use than Windows. Again, Schw�bisch Hall had a solution. We put the chairwoman of our workers' council on stage in front of all the municipal workers, and showed her using the new system. After that, we found that no man would say that he couldn't use his PC now that everyone knew a woman could do it," revealed Br�uner. There were several motives behind Schw�bisch Hall's pioneering move to Linux. One factor was cost, after the IT budget was dramatically cut between 2001 and 2002. Another was a push for better security, while a third was to escape from the treadmill of vendor-driven upgrades.
