Yes on the edge and on the servers. But what about desktops? How many Linux Desktops you have?
As long as you keep your monkeys on your head expect only sh** and nuts. City of Munich and Amsterdam and many many others are not only not daft, the decision makers are answerable and liable. There are only specific cases in SMEs where linux has to coexist and hence loses the cost advantage. Places that use as an important input from customers, multimedia, page layouts, games and very specialised apps that cater to niche markets. But u arent talking of such things at all in this thread. U are talking of office document formats. Even in the above cases many issues can and are resolved by arrangement with the customer. BTW i have more than 800 desktops.
