    "Among the Ubuntu evangelists is the French police force, which has set about converting 70,000 computers from Windows XP. Gendarmerie chief information and security officer Stéphane Dumond said, "Our project to replace Windows XP with Ubuntu on over 70,000 desktops is returning significant benefits; already we've lowered the total cost of ownership by a ratio of 40 per cent, eliminated licence costs and radically reduced technical problems."

    They're not all migrating from XP necessarily, but this page might be of interest.
