Most of the PC shops I had inquired with do accept deferred payment schemes, but the problem is that they do not have stocks of Windows 7 Ultimate, yet. Anyone who has compiled the prices of different Windows 7 FPP versions being sold here in the Philippines? @Patrick: Thanks!

If for example, we have a device that the vendors didn't provide Linux drivers for, or if there is not open source driver for that device (I personally wouldn't recommend buying such a device), we could hook it up to a single Windows machine. We don't really need to install Windows on *all* our machines just because a device doesn't work. Government and businesses could slowly adopt Linux and only use Windows on machines that really need it i.e. legacy applications and some devices with no Linux drivers. They should also start buying hardware from companies that super open formats and free (as in speech) software/drivers to speed up this transition. Check out this Wikipedia article about Linux adoption of governments and businesses all over the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_adoption Looks like the "driver problem" isn't a problem for them at all. @lolipown

Does that mean I have to purchase a brand new unit to avail of those rates (OEM)? This is my first at upgrading an existing OS as I always purchase my PCs with Windows installed already.

Though what I saw are OEM versions. Seems like a lot of people are trying to make money out of MSDN/Technet subscriptions when these are actually not allowed in the license agreement with Microsoft. Thing is, those subscriptions might be even purchased by their companies and making money out of nothing. Oh well. 32/64 bit discs comes with Home Premium versions up. HP would suffice on a netbook (though my former boss uses an Ultimate (on a then RC version) on his Wind. @Bob: There’s deferred payment options, as far as I know.

But the problem with that suggestion is the "start up" cost the government has to pay. It will be a problem because our government will complain about how the amount of money we will spend on transitioning from windows to linux but they will not think about the savings we will have in the long run.

Also, I think it is important, especially for our country that we use free and open source file formats and software to avoid dependence on a product made and controlled by a foreign corporation. The more we spend our money on and use software like Windows the more we become dependent on formats and software that these foreign corporation/monopolies control. You can get Ubuntu (free and open source) here: http://www.ubuntu.com/ No need to pay a centavo. Also, installing is as easy or even easier than installing Windows, contrary to what others would have you believe.
