OK. I concede it works for you.
But, on a national level? Our government is spending hundreds of millions on MS IT. The government is big enough such that a wholesale switch wouldn't have compatibility problems (since they can pay devs to port stuff), but it would save all of that money that could then be ued for other things. It would mean they would have lower hardware requirements, be immune to viruses so they could spend less on security, and release documents in formats everyone can open (not just MS Office users). Should they look into alternatives?
