    Big jump. To call it slow and steady now is nearly a lie.

    A government will send out an RFP to Lenovo, HP, Dell to provide end-user workstations running their government standard distribution. It will be a 10-15 year commitment. This establishes hardware support.

    They also establish a support agreement with an office suite.

    This combo effectively sets up hardware and software support that becomes available to home users.

    It’s almost the same idea as setting minimum wage or travel reimbursements for government workers and private sector follows.
