    [Munich council: To hell with Linux, we're going full Windows in 2020 • The Register](https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/13/munich\_committee\_says\_all\_windows\_2020/) 40% of existing PCs are still on windows after 15 years trying to convert to linux solutions. I think Office 365 may change their minds when they start using it X|

      My initial thoughts of this article was the training costs and non-production costs associated with non-technical people learning software applications to perform their job. I think it's a good move by the German organization to move back to MSFT. We'll be moving to Windows 10 about the same time. Hopefully by then the problems will be resolved.

        I :laugh: and :laugh: and :laugh: I find it disappointing that they could not find equivalent applications in linux to meet the council operational needs. They basically had to build all of them from scratch and become a software house - not their primary job.
