I think this depends on the personal criterion of each user. At less in my personal use I find that Linux is much more user friendly than Windows. On the long term I am sure they will be better of using Linux even if the transition didn't work out as well as they thought. I don't think the use of Linux in the public sector should be encouraged only to save money. Widespread use of Linux will also help encourage the development of a local tech scene.
