The ironic thing is that a Linux environment, properly setup and administered, would require far fewer staff, and a reduced helpdesk. The problem is that IT managers, even if they know and fully understand how linux will benefit them, will not implement it for the following reason. Every division would report how much they've grown [or how they've cooked the books to make it look like they've grown], and what targets they've met, but it would be suicide for the IT manager to say that his division is shrinking, and is not growing. Underspending means that the IT division will get less next year, not more. Even if money saved is take into account, efficiency is not rewarded by the way the metrics are measured.
