Difficult question. You can roughly sum up factors driving a migration in this way: -driving the costs down -avoiding vendor-lock-in -poor quality of MS products -national independence -nurturing the local IT industry -anti-US resentment -sustaining a reliable alternative to MS -will to try something new -a combination of the above In Europe, the reasons for migrations were roughly based on the urge of driving down the IT costs, national independence, nurturing the local IT industry and anti-US resentment. There are many tangible and intangible factors for a migration anyway. If you meet customers who say, "I have MS products all bundled and installed, I don't want to bother with something else", show them that they're not happy, that they have problems as a MS user. If you talk to administrations and government, tell them about the costs, tell them about using something else than "US technology". Make them prefer "made-in Japan" technology. I think it's always a long process and a long sales pitch but in the end it should work.
