This misses the point.

If the end user can run the same app on windows and linux, and we chip
away at the app base for windows-only, then the switch is easier...

You:  Um boss I want to switch everyone over to linux
Boss:  Won't they have to learn new apps, throw out old data and have
lots of help questions?

a)
You:  Why no, since we switched then to Evolution/Open Office, there
will be no issue.  Now we can get rid of theose annoying blue screens
and aal probing lisence agreements.

b)  Yes, but....  Evolutin has most of the same features as Out Look and
so does Open Office, but once they made the switch and the help desk
calls go down, we will be much better off.

While b is true, it is a tough sell.

a) is much easier.
