Firstly, you're actually referring to proprietary software because lots of free software is also used professionally. Examples:
- GCC
- PostgreSQL
- Apache, nginx
- Java
- Python
- Busybox/Linux (routers, embedded hardware)

As for proprietary software:

- Package management is the #1 reason for large-scale Linux desktop installations. See
>>35057472
>>35057451

- Vendor independence. Previously these companies were dependent on Microsoft. Now they can choose one of many FOSS support companies. Red Hat, Novell and thousands of smaller ones.
- Money

The next city will be even cheaper to convert because much work has already been done. Sooner or later most German cities will run Linux, not Windows.

Assuming you get paid 20/h.

Macs cost 20 usd + 1 hour worth of time configuring. Totaling 40 usd.

Windows cost 100 usd + 2 hours worth configuring due to driver downloads/etc. Totaling 140 usd.

Assuming you get paid 20/h.

Macs cost 20 usd + 24 hour worth of fixing shit + 300$ after you've finally had enough and decide to take it to the istore. Totaling 780 usd.

Windows cost 100 usd + 10 hours worth of backing up data, fixing shit that the buggy driver update process messed up, configuring due to driver downloads/etc. Totaling 300$ usd.

Linux costs 0 usd. it just works

Mac: 780 USD
