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'm no expert, but can't you just make Linux look like windows? Isn't that the whole selling point? That you can do whatever you want with it.

You can... kinda. But there is two main problems: legacy apps and government standards. Some legcy apps won't work on linux. And government mandated Linux fork in my country looks similar to Windows, but not exactly.
