- CEO's Diary: Linux?
He has a set a number of practical tests. One was to test transitions to Windows Vista or Linux. People resisted both, but one no more than the other. So why not Linux?
As important, he’s tested Open Office on a trial group. After very little effort in translation most could hardly spot the difference from a Microsoft product. After all, most people hardly use any of the features in either.
The big issue now is email management. If we can manage that and diary scheduling OK (which is a big question) the real issue is when some Linux platforms are now very stable and have long term support, why are we Microsoft based?
