I and my colleagues are not familiar with Linux and have used mainly Microsoft packages. My respose is to your comments : " the cheapest, easy to maintain and upgrade hardware, with plenty of software available for it, is the IBM compatible PC (running Linux)" What is your advise on the Linux software that can be used ? Is it possible for a PC to use both Linux and Micrsoft on the same machine in parallel ? If yes, how to do that ? Can you list Linux software that can replace MSOffice ?
