Realistically, no government, council or borough would consider switching without support. Their choice of system would therefore be only those with pro support contracts [which includes Ubuntu/Canonical who do provide this vital item]... plus the training costs. This is still a win over repeated MS contracts & licenses. [and the "this isn't what we were taught in school" syndrome] So who out there can convince them the two things they keep missing are common senses and real budgetary skills. -- Bill B.
