MJ Ray is right, though - there's a lot of info there, but it's not very up-to-date, and an actual status of the projects is difficult to find.
An up-to-date survey could easily take weeks to make and might be a nice project to make another selling point for migration ...
Anyway, I'm a developer, so market research is not really my line of work; but I had to give a talk, so there ... anyway, my "angle" is that of a small consultancy, and one thing that's interesting about Free Software adaptation from that point of view is that when the political and financial pressure really starts to work and the administrations begin to switch, there's an obscene amount of money just waiting for SME's to make it.
The relevance from a business point of view depends on *when* that "when" is going to happen, of course.
