Yet another European government is ditching Microsoft for Linux - here's why
This state made the open-source shift, and chances are it won't be the last.
You're viewing a single thread.
It’s Schleswig-Holstein (a german state) and they’re pretty serious about it (they want to fully move to Open Source / Linux in the next three months)
The article states it's 30000 users! Doing that is 300 users per day! People who probably also want extra support initially.
It would be extremely impressive to do it that fast.
Surely with the money they would save in licensing they can hire more support staff to help bridge the gap
I'm not concerned about the economy but the logistics.
They will hopefully get it done, but I doubt they can do it in 3 months.
