and training support,  dont forget new compliance policies and security protocols that will need to be developed, and custom made software the company will have to pay for when legacy software does not work, and there are no alternatives .... stares with hate at maximo and people soft .... I cant remember does acrobat pro have an linux version ... i think it does ...   oh and then cognos, bmc remedy and what ever else your running 

A lot of which is neccessary even when just changing from XP to Vista or XP to Win7.

all of the apps i listed there work with windows from 98-07 and your right it can be a problem but moving from one bloated OS with legacy issues to another is easier then moving to a whole new OS 

All of the apps you listed work in Linux...

A few others don't though, I agree.
