    Yes, and we’ll see if this turns out any better than Munich’s failed attempt to do that in 2003, which specifically cited high costs as part of the reason they gave up on it after 15 years (lol).

      Munich’s failed attempt to do that in 2003

      It wasn’t a failed attempt. Microsoft did a handshake deal to get them to switch back (the news reported it as a “failed” switch to Linux). Then a new administration was voted in and they quickly resumed the rollout to Linux and FOSS software. That second part was never reported by the mainstream media.
