#1: The kernel list is not a place for this sort of discussion.
However, here is a list of random thoughts to get you started (I'm
procrastinating when I should be writing a journal article):

First, second, and third: you get the source, you get the source, you get
the source.
It is quicker.
There are more people contributing to its development.
There is little hype: people develop Linux because they enjoy it; they *use*
Linux because it works. How much of the appeal of NT is simply marketing
hype?
You are not tied to the (unknown) marketing model of a large US company.
(Governments should worry about becoming dependent on foreign corporations
for their internal integrety/independence).
Linux is free: there are no issues of system licences (or system software
upgrade costs) etc:
1000 NT boxes = 1000*x + sysadmin
1000 Linux boxes = sysadmin .
(for x=$500, $500,000 = a lot of Linux system administration).
I would advise you to talk with Linux International. li.org . They will have
lots of better reasons + examples of success stories, and this is what they
are there for.
