It looks like our reviewer has tapped a common meme...

"Chief information officer Ross Hughson says the department is now
migrating its 6000 desktops to XP from Windows 2000.

It rejected installing Vista as it would have had to replace most of its
personal computers to run the power-hungry operating system and didn't see
sufficient benefit, he says.

By the time Inland Revenue needs to move off XP, Inland Revenue wants to
have the option of switching to Linux, he says. "

Almost exactly what our bod said.....

By the time XP is EOL....Linux will be good enough....
