I had something similar happen: I was told to delete Linux and
re-install Windows For Workgroups 3.11 to: "reduce our support
and maintenance costs".

Seeing as I was the maintenance person for the section, and it
was Linux that had helped reduced costs in the area, I guessed
the real reason was Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

I left for greener pastures. I heard the department went to NT
and the support costs increased 500%. Let them wallow in their
own filth, I say.
