  Microsoft down and out in Munich
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Todd Richardson

Linux zealots all over Munich have strapped on their lederhosen and knocked back a few liters of beer after the open source operating system beat out Microsoft's Windows for a major city contract.

Munich will dump 14,000 PCs running Windows and install Linux instead in what is one of the biggest moves away from Redmond to date. The importance of the deal prompted Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to make a last minute pitch and reportedly to undercut an offer from IBM and SuSE. Ballmer's efforts failed.

$32,000,000/14,000 = $2285 per desktop

What the $%^$ kind of deal is that? We pay like $250/desktop for Windows and Office and that includes support contracts.

I don't understand these numbers. Are they saying Microsoft was going to pay them $32 million? They must be, as I can't believe the city got suckered into paying that for software licensing on Linux.

gg - Ok, maybe if they were buying new top of the line 3 Ghz p4 machines. But then why negotiate thru MS, why not Dell?

I'm still trying to figure out this $32 million figure.

"I'll take a handcrafted Jaguar with a 20 year warranty for a higher price than a slapped-together POS that won't last 5 years before the transmission blows up. :) "

The price of a 20 year extended warranty on a Jaguar would buy you a 40 foot yacht.

Jaguar means "Boat Payment" in Mechanicese. Everybody knows that, silly!

flexibility is for gymnasts. Outside of the Olympics it doesn't sell. :-)
