First one in Germany? That's suprising. There's at least one in Zurich (next
the rail station), so why not in a country as large as Germany? In any
event, Munich is gradually becoming Microsoft independent.

LiMux The Penguin: Deep into Munich?s Linux F/OSS migration
,----[ Quote ]
| Munich's Linux migration has been a publicity frenzy, a
| software patent poster child, and the subject of a debate
| on the role of government in technology mandates. Now it's
| a real-life IT project, and the key to success is training,
| management, and replacing 170 non-Linux applications.
|
| [...]
|
| Now, after enormous criticism and a nearly complete halt,
| it's becoming a successful migration if for very important
| reasons: it's going well, quietly, and on plan.

I don't think that any /home/ users are looking forward to getting Vista
installed, so as platform agnostic people say, people have begun weighing
whether they are heading for Apple or for Free software. These are the two
main paths in this crossroad.
