I'd like to see evidence for this assertion. I'd like to compare it with
the upheaval of changing from Windows XP to Windows 7.  In point of fact
all this has been done with not much loss of life as a result. I'd
really like to hear from admins who have actually gone through the
change from Windows to Linux as to the level of trauma experiences by
such a change compared to a Windows "upgrade". If it turns out that
changing the administrative system is indeed an easier route than so be
it and lets compare all open source vs. all Windows machines for the
Kent library system.
