The ruling party of Germans biggest city and self-proclaimed 'technology capital' now decided to migrate 14.000 workstations to Linux and an OSS office suite. A study comparing the alternatives had assigned 6218 (out of 10.000) points to Linux/OSS, while the MS Windows platform only scored 5293" [Slashdot]
MacInTouch points out that Munich isn't Germany's largest city; nevertheless I think the decision is pretty interesting. |
