Re: Just some facts about Linux adoption.....
When you have as many niche (Windows only) applications as a local council
You may have some niche, platform-specific, applications - and not just for Windows - but very few people will actually be using them as local users. There will be widely-used applications - fleet management, for example - but you would expect those to be running on servers, not on desktops, and you would be asking serious questions of their developers if the client interface was not a web browser by now.
And councils already have a massive issue dealing with legacy document formats: they still have a mountain of stuff on paper. If they can integrate that into their workflow, the issues about electronic document incompatibilities are really just fluff.
