Lockergnome: Penguins sited in Munich. In reality they will use then a linux distribution at their desktop and run MS Terminal Server session(s) to get their every day applications (e.g. Access and Excel VBA apps). Differences:

1. Much slower than before (via terminal server)
2. If TS is down, no one can work, and: how expensive are TS licenses?
3. IT division is down for all the requests they get from their users to impl. just small additions to the new app running now at linux (or they apply it in Excel VBA to be in time; see point 1).
4. Linux and the main stream apps like Office or Image processing have  community support, but government software?

Nothing against Unix/Linux (on servers).
