Issue #1 again
I've worked for big organisations, and switching rom Windows to a Linux desktop is simply a non starter. It shouldn't even be in the list, but then it's coming from someone with a Linux orientated background.
Jack, have you any idea what a monumental task that would be in a reasonably sized organisation? From that prespective, it's a ridiculous proposition. Think about 2 immediate things: re-training all the IT staff to a level they can provide good support is one thing, what about training thousands of end users.
That point should be qualified by adding a "for small companies only" clause.
Spend the money on securing your Windows infrastructure instead. Much more beneficial in the long run.
