This isn't a corporate license. They have specialised software for the police, hospitals, schools etc and it all has to work perfectly. So to transition to Linux at the very least they would have to convert all the branches software to work on the system. Office applications really do just scratch the surface here for the different software which needs to be run. I have never heard of a government making such a switch without a concerted effort to do so.

...yes. They would probably have to put in a similar amount of effort from XP to Vista though. It's not perfect; but in the long run it would save millions.
