Hm.

I'm sure many other companies and organisations could also save millions by switching to Linux.

What with this Global Credit Crunch that El Gordo has failed to save the world from, this could be the window that the Penguins need to storm the market.

I'm wondering if there could be a market for Linux consultants/trainers in the near future.

Bizarre. Back in them days I had a Spectrum, and lived in the UK. A 48k game would cost £5.95-£9.95 depending on the publisher (Ultimate games typically £9.95, Ocean £7.95, Hewson £6.95). Budget games cost £1.99 (Firebird silver range and Mastertronic) or £2.99 (Mastertronic's MAD range). No way was that anywhere near a week's pay! It would be a couple of hours work, maybe an afternoon at Waitrose (the local supermarket), if that. Mind you though, that was when games could be written by a sole dev, or a small handful of folks. And games would be given away free on the front of magazines.

Yeah, and MS Windows never gets hacked or infected with viruses... IIRC, didn't MS recently advise people to start using something other than IE because someone had spotted a gaping hole in it? Probably not a good line to take with potential clients though, it's a bit mealy-mouthed and sinks to MS's level.
