Pilot projects, success stories grow around Linux desktop

And so are the success stories.
Munich, Germany's recently disclosed plans to move off Windows to Linux
on the desktop is the most high profile large-scale migration, but there
are many others.

Extremadura, Spain recently deployed 80,000 Linux desktops into its K-12
educational system, essentially providing one Linux desktop for every
two students.

Largo, Fla. recently moved its municipal government's 900 desktops to
Linux.

Sao Paolo, Brazil recently installed 10,000 Linux computers for use in
public hotspots.

Thailand has its own Linux distribution and the government subsidized
Linux desktops for small and medium businesses for up to 1 million
users. The government agreed to pay for half of a business' hardware
costs if those companies use the Thai Linux distribution.
