Here's a strategy for ya! The following occured in
Germany when a local municipality chose to dump
Windows and go to Linux in all their their offices.

"Once the migration was completed, though, there were
concerns that the open-source software would be harder
to use than Windows. Again, Schw�bisch Hall had a
solution. 

We put the chairwoman of our workers' council on stage
in front of all the municipal workers, and showed her
using the new system. After that, we found that no man
would say that he couldn't use his PC now that
everyone knew a woman could do it," revealed Br�uner. 

There were several motives behind Schw�bisch Hall's
pioneering move to Linux. One factor was cost, after
the IT budget was dramatically cut between 2001 and
2002. Another was a push for better security, while a
third was to escape from the treadmill of
vendor-driven upgrades.
