Unfortunately they have, especially I am aware of some in Germany, but they gave up due to the difficulties involved as Linux did not turn out to be as easy to use as people hoped a decade ago.

And now the pendulum has swung back around.

The German thing was quite suspicious though, the mayor of the city changed, Microsoft announced that they were building a new center of excellence or something in the town and suddenly Linux was too hard...
