If we are talking about a typical scenario in an office where the user 
is using the internet for browsing and email, accessing a database with
a specially written tool (i.e. Gambas) then then there is no problem at
all replacing a Windows machine with a Linux distribution such as
openSUSE or Ubuntu.

I have done this many times since 10 years ago with excellent results;
some of the users are in the lower income bracket, some are approaching
retirement age. The only complaint I ever received about the Linux user
interface was that it takes only one click instead of two (like in
Windows) to open something but that is configurable to suit the taste.
Otherwise the user experience transition was as smooth as silk. No
viruses, no virus checkers.

Gambas is excellent as a user interface to databases. It is also very
good for rapid prototyping software on Linux. For me it is the fastest
way to write a program on Linux.

Yes I understand you. But why not just sit back for a moment and think.
Do you want Windows or do you want a solution? It has been a reflex for
many years just to think "which Windows Operating System to install?"

The times are a-changing, and fast. Linux is a winner!

Why would the CEO of Microsoft do something like this?
