There is a lot of noise going about these news:
The Foreign Ministry is migrating all of its 11.000 desktops to GNU/Linux and other Open source applications.
That’s good. Both the noise and the news. But it’s not the first time that we hear about this or that government office moving to Linux desktops. It happened before. What I am more interested in hearing is the “after” life. Something along the lines of “Look, we moved to Linux desktops one year ago and we are doing better than ever. We are happier and we also spend less money”. How many of those moved roll back to what they had before? Why did they roll back? How many stay? How many of those who stay are more satisfied? How much cheaper it is for them?
That’s what I’d like to hear.
