Hope you would also put up for display some thin client applications, and demonstrate interoperability factor.
Can you please explain this in a bit more details.
That was in larger (selfish) interest to help promote the theme within the Government circles. I recall how Free Software was countered by a gentleman (son of IT Minister), in a personal chat, citing 'user-friendliness' as a stumbling block. I had tried to put across that with interoperability, mentioning that one could still be in front of a MS box with Linux app at the back-end, and quoted examples at various ISPs. Somehow over the tele, he couldn't be convinced.
