Spanish region Extremadura is going for Desktop Linux.

ImageThe Spanish region Extremadura is going to migrate 40000 PC's to Debian Linux.
"That version gives us a good starting point to adapt Debian to the needs of a standard user and offer a light and secure desktop, compliant with the requirements of ISO and IEC 27001 IT security standards."

This is now classified as the second largest open source desktop migration project in Europe, between French Gendarmerie's 90,000 desktops and the 14,000 desktops of Munich city.
And it is only the beginning.
After Munich the ball has started to role and all the Microsoft sponsored doomsday predictions have been proven wrong by positive evaluations on the way.
Smart people these Spaniards....
