Why not just standardize on open source programs that run on windows?  I've 
been using Open office for years without a problem .

That was nine years ago. A few years later these cities have stopped their
plans to move everything over to Linux realizing that it would be to
expensive to re-write the whole lot of custom software and also due to
changes in Microsoft's licensing model.

The idea is coming up every few years by different smaller cities until
they realize that software license fees are only part of the TCO.
