That's basically my plan. If I can show "here's an OSS[1] program which performs as well as the proprietary one. You'd like something to be a bit different? Sure, let me just tweak that... better? Excellent. Oh, by the way, there's a whole Operating System which works the same way." Then I start pressuring all of the ISVs we deal with, to either "shape up or f**k off" WRT Linux. Residual stuff we can run on a Win2K server with TS and rdesktop on Linux. Voila!
