Hi Donn, My hat off for your efforts advocating Linux. I can't give you my insights on any Windows shortcomings 'cause I've never used this OS extensively. However, based on my experience converting other non-technical people to Linux/BSD, I would say that it's a rather dead bid, unless these people are in a real need for another OS. Look, it took just to months to convert our whole eng. dept. (40 people) to Linux.
May I inquire a) What sort of engineering department are we talking about (mechanical, electrical, structural)? b) What critical design software packages does your group use and what windows-based packages did you have to abandon?
