It's the disconnect rule: any article which requires disabling ghostery/disconnect to read or which have 10 or more trackers merit flagging. If the content is good, there is most likely a better home with fewer trackers / ads (which is not to say that I'm against ads entirely, but there is a limit)
The good news for those organizations is that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is coming out in the same month Windows XP's support is expiring. If they are ever going to move off Windows (especially governmental institutions), now it's the best time to do it, with them moving off XP, and with Windows 8 being so schizophrenic, radical, and generally enterprise-hostile.
I don't think it's likely that a huge corporation whose entire IT infrastructure was built around Windows and Microsoft software would migrate to Linux. It would be a big technical and political risk for the executives: if something went wrong, the company would be seriously hurt and they'd be fired. Upgrading to a newer version of Windows would be technically easier and politically much, much safer.
Assuming a Linux migration was on the cards, how would you go about supporting office excel spreadsheets with VBA code, VB6 Winform apps and intranet sites optimised for IE6?
