What is Your Favourite Linux/BSD Desktop Distro - 2014 Q1

@scottalanmiller you're not wrong.
We tried looking at Open office several years ago (before we had Exchange). It was decided that converting all of our existing Office documents into Open Office files wouldn't be worth the efforts. many of our existing files had formatting issues that looked aesthetically bad.
I recently broached the topic again and was told that dealing with converting files received from outside sources wasn't worth the hassle, etc.
The worst part for us is the requirement to use IE for our LOB.

Yes, changing an environment from one thing to another is a lot of work. Going from Linux to Windows would have the same complications.

I tried moving us to a TS environment about 4 years ago - I couldn't get past the thin clients 'flashing' on websites that used Adobe Flash. When moving between screens on our EMR of the time the whole window would flash white before going to the next screen. I posted about it on SW... someone posted a reason why (can't recall now). Never had the problem when using a Windows machine as a terminal into the TS.
In the end it worked out since our current EMR strictly forbids TS.
