or run Linux as your primary OS and have it host a vm app like
Virtualbox, that can run windows and other OS vm(s). This would cover
all your bases, but allow you to run your servers, (eg PostgreSQL,
MySql, Apache, Sendmail, Postfix, Mailman, VSftpd, NFS, etc.), in the
environment in which they were originally developed, and still run best.
Also, you could create an in house Linux Cloud Server and have any
computer running any OS connect to it. I've been doing this since long
before the PR "Cloud" moniker appeared in the market place. I just do
it the hard way, without the fancy Web based interface and remote IT
department handling everything. LOL
Another option is to run Linux connected to a "Cloud", including run
your applications remotely over the web, (eg application as a service).
There are lots of options.

winders Local gubmint adopting FOSS is great but they will hit the same
hurdles as business hits - too much of the software they need doesn't
exist on Linux. All the folks just doing word processing and email -
great. Get the foot in the door with those people, but the planning
department using AutoCAD, or the PR department using Photoshop et al
won't be moving any time soon.
