Upon further consideration, I suppose I would start by pointing out the benefits of switching to a new development environment, along with some good examples of successful implementations. If the response seemed positive, I would then suggest a
few small trial tests on non-critical internal only intranet type apps.
In reality, even though I am a Linux/Open Source enthusiast, I would be afraid to propose this type of major change, as I would feel responsible for every small problem along the way (and I'm sure there would be many of those).
