Not happening anytime soon. I had manage to convert a cyber cafe to Linux -- Only the server.

correct - stick to converting the server. Nothing else will work. And if the cybercafes have to pay M$ license fees, prices will go up - thats all. I have run a cybercafe and practical experiences shows that they *have* to provide M$ stuff because that is what the customers need. Anything else will boomerang on us. Even if there is a meeting with the cybercafe people please dont promise them to completely replace doze - talk only about the server and talk only about stability and reliability for that.
