People get use to Ubuntu very fast.
In my experience, the big problem in organizations are legacy documents and formats. Especially Excel. LibreOffice is good but it's not going to run the macros that were created 10 years ago by guys that are now retired in some beach.
The other big problem is specialized software (already amortized) that only run in Windows.
The funny thing is that kind of problems happens even between different versions of windows.
