Sounds good. Does it work on linux or macs? My business clients are all dumping windows since new computers started shipping with win 8. I'm busy converting all their utility programs to run real computers:)
Hi
I'am really interested which company will change Windows to Linux?
hmm, your business clients dumping Windows? I never heard off something like this, except in some small companies using special software solutions.
Like Wal-mart?

I work for a, let's say 'bigger company', and no one even think about dropping Windows
Agreed, it's rare that an entire platform will be dropped outright entirely. (In either direction.) What's most common is that there's a complex ecosystem of different machines, each running critical (and often custom) software for a single purpose.
Not just Windoze v GNU/Linux, but often specialized things like QNX or even the descendents of mainframe systems like the z900 and it's relative, the AS/400.
GNU/Linux seems to be popular with RDP thin clients to Windoze servers - I've seen a lot of Wyse thin clients out there. Of course, I've also seen Windows CE handhelds used as portable telnet clients to a Unix server.
Most bizarrely, McDonalds still seems to be using SCO Unix. http://www.mpasystems.com.au/vendor/sco/sco-openserver-6 And they've been doing so for years. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r9608554-McDonalds-SCO-Tech
(or better MS-Office).
I admit that this one I don't quite get. It's so easy to replace it with LibreOffice or another alternative.
Even Munich (I'am German) think about going back from Linux to Windows (and they really tried hard to use Linux).
Haven't heard that, but I'd certainly like to know more about it!
Or are you talking about Google? and Android? (but this has nothing todo with real computers :) )
I don't know about that, I think it's possible to dump conventional desktop/laptop computers and replace them entirely with Android phones. But perhaps that's a story for another time...
