Windows-only software in government

["Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak" <mjc avtechpulse com>]

Hi all,

One of the issues forcing me to keep a few MS Windows computer around in 
my company are government services relying on Windows-only software, 
like this example:

http://www.statcan.ca/english/exports/download.htm

My company is required to report all exports to non-US destinations 
using the Windows-only program - or paper forms. Bleh.

I've added an lgo page to collect government Windows-only thoughts: 
http://live.gnome.org/Government.

If you have some experiences / wisdom to share, I would appreciate it 
you you added it to the wiki.

Perhaps Richard Stalling and/or others could help fashion the "Why 
Should Governments Support Non-Windows Operating Systems?" section into 
something more stirring and convincing, that we can point legislators 
and bureaucrats too.
