Moving Small Organizations from Windows to Linux?

chris1646 asks: "Currently we are a small organization that is entirely a Windows shop. Next year much of the server and desktop hardware we run will need replacing. I am looking for creative ways to introduce Linux as my desktop and server OS of choice, however a couple of our core applications run exclusively on Windows. Has anyone had any success hosting Windows applications via terminal server while using Linux as the client OS? Has anyone handled a AD to open source LDAP migration?"

I have the certificates to prove this, and furthermore they're issued by the biggest software company in existence. Oh, you're an IBM Certified Enterprise Developer? Good for you! Way more impressive than, say, a MVP for MSN Messenger or Notepad. ;-)
