We wanted an NT replacement. NT did all we needed. The price hike for functionality not required in a small frirm with a stable workforce was more than we could justify. We now have a Linux back end. In 5 years time when we are looking at new desktops I hope over 50% will be Linux based. It has caused some pain but the whole licence thing cost us more. Not just the cost but the OS life-cycles and the need to get AV for each machine etc.
