Linux flagship Munich’s U-turn: Install Windows 10 everywhere by end of 2020 <http://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-flagship-munichs-u-turn-i.../ >
[Ed: An attack by Microsoft-connected Accenture in Munich shows that Microsoft VERY much hates GNU/Linux]
According to Kirschner, Munich’s IT problems are not so much down to the use of free software as they are the result of poor management and organizational structure, a view backed up by Accenture’s study.

Statement by The Document Foundation about the upcoming discussion at the City of Munich to step back to Windows and MS Office <https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2017/02/14/statemen.../ >
[,,,]
Rumours of the City of Munich returning to Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office have been regularly leaking since the election of Mayor Dieter Reiter, who was described as a “Microsoft fan” when interviewed by StadtBild magazine in 2014.
[...]
In spite of the suggestions, on Wednesday, February 15, Munich City Council will discuss a proposal – filed by a minority of city councillors – to install Windows 10 and MS Office 2016 on all workstations by 2020. This would cost taxpayers close to 90 million euro over the next six years, with a 35% aggravation over the 66 million euro figure suggested by Accenture.
[...]
Based on the above considerations, The Document Foundation thinks that the proposal to be discussed on Wednesday, February 15, represents a significant step backwards for the City of Munich, with a substantial increase in expenditure, an unknown amount of hidden cost related to interoperability, and a questionable usage of taxpayers money.

TDF On Munich <http://mrpogson.com/2017/02/14/tdf-on-munich/ >
Beware politicians promising solutions to nonexistent problems. Read TDF’s post. Read the report from Accenture, M$’s “partner”. Even Accenture doesn’t believe the politicians’ solution. Monopoly is never the solution to diverse problems. Accenture advocates using web-applications. That provides independence from the OS and GNU/Linux would work for them. Sigh. Politics, the game that never ends.

Stay with Free Software, City of Munich! <https://dot.kde.org/2017/02/14/stay-free-software-city-munich >
The city of Munich is currently considering a move away from Free Software back to Microsoft products. We consider this to be a mistake and urge the decision makers to reconsider.
For many years now the City of Munich has been using a mix of software by KDE, LibreOffice and Ubuntu, among others. Mayor Dieter Reiter (a self-proclaimed Microsoft-fan who helped Microsoft move offices to Munich) asked Accenture (a Microsoft partner) to produce a report about the situation of the City of Munich’s IT infrastructure. That resulted in a 450-page document. This report is now being misused to push for a move away from Free Software. However the main issues listed in the report were identified to be organizational ones and not related to Free Software operating systems and applications.
