I guess most if not everyone out there know that Governments use Windows XP (Uk Gov't) and that it costs quite a huge amount to pay in bulk licenses, including local councils. Does anyone know how much these bulk licenses cost and how many the UK Gov't have?

Well, onto the main reason I am posting - I have sent an email to my local MP to look into using a Linux based OS instead of Windows as they wont need to pay for licenses which will presumably save hundreds of thousands.

Why not send an email to your local MP or the MP that deals with the IT or whoever it is that does.

What's your thoughts on this?
