I’m also weary of government studdies because these are often a delaying tactic where all the wrong people are asked to provide mountains of FUD for GNU/Linux. I thought BN published a few embarrassing lies that were recently exposed. It is simply wrong for governments to publish things in Microsoft only formats and there are plenty of free alternatives, so no further study needs to be done. Laws to mandate reasonable publishing standards should simply be written. Enforcing honest bidding will drive Microsoft out of the market, so long as choices are not restricted to Microsoft friendly companies like Dell.
