Munich begins Linux replacement of Windows | |

| Time: 18:39 EST/23:39 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Andre Da Costa | ||

September 21, 2006 (IDG News Service) -- Munich has begun its migration to Linux on the desktop, a year later than planned and nearly three years since the city announced its move to open-source software. "There have been some delays along the way, but we're now moving steadily ahead," Florian Schiessl, manager of the city of Munich's "Limux" project, said today in an interview. Limux is shorthand for the "Linux in Munich" initiative. Since Tuesday, the first 100 of the city's 14,000 PCs have been switched from Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system and Office applications to Linux and OpenOffice. | ||

| #25: No, it's the lock-in. MS has done a good job of making as hard as possible to break free from their predatory monopolistic grip. |

Its amazing what great features, great ROI and interoperability with 97% of the worlds PC's will do.
I mean, there are 400 Linux distros that aren't interoperable with each other. And support for years and year. Unlike Linux. And inexpensive (compared to RedHat Linux). Yes, there are many reasons to avoid the Linux tax on productivity. Linux. The Paris Hilton of operating systems. Looks cheap. High maintenance. And, Linux costs 50% more than Windows solutions - see Munich. This post was edited by NotParker on Saturday, September 23, 2006 at 18:21. |

| Windows - The Don Corleone of operating systems. Do-a what we tells ya, the way we tells ya, we break-a your knees. Just give us your money, and keep yur trap shut! |
