This may be true, but it does raise some questions: Did your father have to configure his access to the (probably) Samba based file shares, set up his own account on the network, map all of the printers, configure his own email client etc? Part of a large enterprise roll-out is pre-configuration. I can't imagine the Gendarmerie IT dept. appreciating all of this extra configuration for "every single guy" with a Win 7 laptop.

Hum, once again you go too technical. (no offense) How does it work? With a cracked version of Office and a USB key that is passed from hands to hands. The email client? A web based interface. For gendarmerie based stuff that requires special software (taking depositions for example), of course it is handled on Ubuntu because they have no choice. But a lot of their paperwark time is spent filling word documents and excel spreadsheets, something that can be done on any computer. Gendarmerie IT dept, lawl? They changed the computer and gave them one phone number for support, of a guy that is located 200 km away :).
