I think that there is interest in both Linux and Windows, but not
enough to get a large number of people together in a room, on a
weekend. I have never seen more than 50 people in a Linux user group
meeting, despite the fact that we have more than 100 Linux users in
Mauritius.
By "isn't much interest", SM is talking about getting large number of
people together and start doing things.

I hope that those companies migrate to Open Source soon, when they
will wake up and realise how agile they can become, thanks to the
great flexibility that Open Source offers :-)
