    There is also the costs involved in keeping your support staff up to date. IT is very reluctant to spend money for a platform that only a small handful might use. Then there is the cost of sending IT personel out to install software in the day and age of automated install. It will only adopt non-MS desktops when the support tools for those OSes include automated installations like Ghost, RIS, GPO policy, or WinInstall.
