    Well, if I remember well the whole administration of Munich already went
    to Linux years ago, only to be replaced with Windows again once the
    contracts were up for negotiation again.

    Fascinating how that goes in waves. Munich was I think first out, then
    they switched back to windows after microsoft promised an R&D center in
    the region. I wonder if they will, yet again, switch back to linux in the future?

    Maybe lobbyism was also a reason.

    This was mostly a political (new mayor), not a technical decision,
    though.
