          I also had to take 5 pictures EACH of OEM license stickers from 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 Pro, to prove that I was actually using upgrades from OEM.

          I had to do the picture thing the first time they audited us.

            What line of work is the workplace in? I like the idea, but everywhere I go it seems that the company has one app that won't run on Linux. It's getting better with so many web based apps, but the second issue is training. I deal with so many companies that would struggle learning how to go from Microsoft Office to Open Office.

              Office365 online works and is really simple to pick up and start using.

                Logistics.

                    In my experience, it's less about learning to go from one to the other (my users didn't have a real hard time going from the menu to the newer ribbon), it's that the formatting was completely hosed when opening existing MS Word files in Open Office.

                      Correct. Enterprise logistics, not consumer.

                        No enterprise logistics systems run on Windows already. All major platforms either run on Unix or are literally made by the Unix vendors themselves. The leader in the space is Oracle.
