    More and more governments need to ditch Microsoft Windows. Government has a responsibility to use the funds it has as responsibly as possible. This means not feeding beaucoup dollars to Microsoft. Both the daily support costs and licensing of Microsoft products vastly outweigh open source. As a senior desktop support engineer I see it all of the time. Some could think of it as job security but I think of it as a waste of resources that could be allocated in other areas.
