      Haven't other countries tried this and failed cause of something or other Microsoft did or promised to do?

        Munich, started moving to Linux but a new government with a different political agenda is attempting to move back to windows, probably due to a massive lobbying effort from Microsoft.

        September 2016 - Microsoft moves it's German headquarters to Munich

        February 2017 - Politicians discuss proposals to replace the Linux-based OS used across the council with a Windows 10-based client.

        Wasn't there a successful Linux government project in Spain though?

          I knew that would happen,it always does. I wonder how much money Windows threw at them to stay there? I don't recall if Spain got out of their clutches or not.
