If there's going to be a significant learning
curve between the
present systems and newly-deployed systems
regardless, where is the rationale
for staying with the
current brand?
1. Lack of needed
applications;
2. Inability to process legacy data formats in a
non-
lossy way that enables system integration;
3. Substitute open
source applications and libraries with
inadequate or non-existent documentation
for users and/or
developers;
4. Other? These are just a few that came
immediately to
mind.

..that means we're able to compare Microsoft's "6 weeks of Win8
agony before up-to-speed-again" (No profits?????) claims, with a
similarly brutal deployment of Dvorak keyboards on e.g. Debian
Wheezy, Dvorak people claims a typical 7 weeks of agony before
their victims zoom past their qwerty typing speeds toward an
average 40% higher productivity.
..40% higher productivity means you can do in 3 days what you
now need 5 days to do. Or, you can fire the lowest performing
40% of your staff and give the remaining staff an e.g. 20% pay
rise and pocket a 20% higher profit and still get the same job
done, on time, and, on budget. Etc. _Just_ by (brutally) going
from the qwerty keyboard layout, to the Dvorak keyboard layout.
..going to e.g. Debian Wheezy GNU/Linux means you, and not
Microsoft, are in charge of _your_ business etc decicions such
as OS etc software upgrades and updates.
..then again I hear there are far less printing problems in the
GNU/Linux world, both factors that would have effects on profits
that would make business owners and shareholders happier... ;o)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
