use case?

Where was the use case for this OS?

It wouldn't be able to be used in an NHS Acute environment because of the variety of systems in use, none of which run on Linux.

And without System supplier buy in how was this ever going to fly? Where are the Pathology, Pacs and prescribing systems that will run on this?

I remember the original discussions on ElReg about this and some wag saying "can just use a virtual desktop".... so you would still be tied into Microsoft.
