People say that Linux is not user friendly and cannot be used for Desktops for general users. Now I can surely say, if management plans to use Linux in offices, users & admins work hard on it without having windows in mind then they can switch to Linux.
A few months back I supplied a pc installed with Kubuntu to a hospital and on the actual installation day, I was unavailable due to medical reasons. After getting back to work, I called them up a few times asking them if they need a demo and surprisingly each time they simply say no; that they are already comfortable using it. The installation was done by a windows guy who had simply wired up the system and entered the login password. The only time I had to visit was after a month or so when kde would disconnect the keyboard after login and the .kde folder had to be deleted. Just after logging in again, the doctor there made a few clicks and got back his favourite photo as the background. I would have taken a longer time to do it. This exprerience has really amazed me.
