Should be fun when they upgrade to 12.04. And I say that as one who quite likes Unity

Its not a standard Ubuntu. For example, they use KDE 3 :).

Well, they'll have to change that for 12.04 unless they compile their own!

Well, they do have an IT department with staff competent enough to make a linux migration. I guess they do have an appropriate rollout management to compile and deploy KDE without much hassle. I wouldn't worry about that.

I'm sure they do, but isn't KDE 3.5 obsolete? They would have to take on the maintenance and security updates themselves...

You don't have to use unity on ubuntu 12.04, for instance, I tend to use LXDE.
