Lisp as an Alternative to Java to find out that JAVA is not in a position to outdo a programming language with its roots in the 50ties. CC.
... since here (Germany) exists (at least from my point of view) the tradition to invest large amounts of money in 'government software projects' that turn out to be scrap in the end.
If it works fine, this for sure will boost the acceptance of LINUX since the public sector (still) is an important customer to deal with.

This also raises the issue of interoperability in-between (the different levels) of authorities.
Given the (low) budgets this may end in a 'victory' for LINUX (within 10 years or so).
