Not everyone shares your objectives.
I'm just back from a meeting with a sales manager who's setting up a new company in the UK. He's fresh from doing the same thing in Ireland, and I couldn't help but smile when he said the following, unprompted:

"When we started the company in Ireland, we got a guy in to do the whole IT for us. He stuck in Linux desktops and Open Office and said 'it'd be just the same'. It's a pile of ****. It won't even run my laptop properly. I just want something that's normal and works".
