and then in 2015...
after a generation of high school leavers are very familiar with Linux and other FOSS apps, businesses will be able to start switching to Linux without the need to retrain new starters.

Then in 2020 when this generation are holding management positions they'll see no reason to be captive to exhorbitant software licensing regimes and actively switch organisations to Linux/FOSS.

Once something becomes std in education it'll only take about a decade for it to start becoming a standard in business.
