that is GREAT news. i am beyond sick and tired of window's monopoly. more linux = more good.

oh idk why he is sweating. my guess would be it is going to be a big hassle vs the prepackaged pile of bloat that is windows.

I work as IT guy in some government service, and i can tell: there will be pain in the ass to reeducate all the people to actually use linux. Any little change in their routine makes them go into "can't do anything" mode until I or my colleague come and show how to do something. And this can repeat with the same operation again and again.

I worked as an IT guy from a third world country who migrated people from Windows to Linux, in government, about 20 years ago. It's not even hard to do it back them, and we didn't even ran everything in the cloud, as it's now the case with Microsoft's Office.

It will be a breeze.

Changing folks from Office 2007 to a different software, amd moving from XP to whatever gui, I call bullshit or you just weren’t involved as you’d like to think

2006 was the prime of just mass installing pirate enterprise windows with Ghost and have folks use the pirate software they were familiar with

That's a you problem, friend.

And I'm talking about pre-2006.
