They may well be screwed, but that having been said if this event doesn't make administrators and taxpayers wake up and revolt against M$ I think they never will (and I am afraid that this may be the case).
They should bite the bullet, pitch out all non-esential M$ software and make the move to open source. Hell they can't afford the cost of M$ software. I know it would be a huge undertaking but it must start somewhere and it would be a tremendous learning experience for all involved.
