I work at a web developer company in Copenhagen, we are granted permission to install whatever OS we want. We are 4 people out of 25 with Linux.
Some of the older guys at work has tried installing Mandrake 8.0 because they want to make the switch, but in general, the upgrade failed because:
- they have to emulate Lotus Notes through WINE, it's slow.
- Mozilla is way slow on their Pentium II 300 machines comparing with IE on NT 4.
- They have no time to learn the basics of Linux on their job - they want full control, but it hurts productivity to learn it in the same time where they must work.
