David,

The govt has all the money to train these guys on the M$ certifications. The problem would be whether they become really competent on the platform to an extent that they can avert a disaster. I want believe there are folks there who are really good, because otherwise it's tantamount to "digital suicide" to deploy Windows Servers for a govt! ZA uses Open Source software for workstations and servers, IIRC.
But also remember, the govt entered into some deal with M$ - I don't know the details, but that may perhaps explain why Windows Servers are being used.

From that error there, this is Oracle on Windows, right? With PHP scripts? So there is a recognition that FOSS can work for them, given the presence of PHP.

For the fun of it, try and figure out the version of PHP they are running;)
