			<description><![CDATA[Linux OS and open source software has a lower whole life cost and is less susceptible to viruses. ...until it grows in popularity, where MS is already very familiar with patching holes. IF linux was as good as all the current users says it is... the move to the free OS would of already been made here in North America. Linux is free... and you get what you pay for.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My brother actually works in the NHS, and his department is still using a UNIX mainframe and dumb terminals. They just had their only major upgrade for 20+ years, and it was just a massive upgrade to a much newer version of UNIX. While it's fine for someone willing to learn themself, and it's not even that hard to use Linux today, the switch to Linux would have a massive cost both for the actual change and for training. A staggered transfer would mean complete interoperabilit y of everything with Windows until every department is transferred as well, and expect reduced levels of service during this time.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I cant see it happening either. Ive been using Linux for 17 years and it is still not got the simplicity of Windows. Trawling through text configuration files and trying to solve dependencies still seems quite normal (and painful) Linux behaviour to me. Just think of the costs involved in retraining the masses of IT staff? Many of who in my company are openly hostile towards Linux - through what seems to be fear of the unknown combined with having so much to relearn.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm all for free software, but we need to be realistic here. Simply switching to Linux isn't a simple process and won't be cheap either even if the software itself is free. It would require a lot of retraining on both the OS and Open Office especially as most users will likely have Windows etc at Home.]]></description>
