Will Munich's Linux Desktops Be Running Windows?
An anonymous reader writes "Remember that story about the city of Munich choosing Linux to power 14,000 desktop computers? One aspect of this story that most people don't know about is that up to 80 percent of those Linux desktops will be equipped with VMWare, a virtual machine emulator, under which they will run Windows and Windows applications. That's right, folks: The majority of those 'Linux desktops' will be used to run ... Windows." This Gartner report from early June seems to be the one mentioned in the article, though I'm not sure exactly where Thurrott gets the 80% figure.
TK is just as lame. CLIT was funnier.
Hey I think it's cool that you're using my spin.gif copy!

That's the best you can do? Pathetic.

The only reason linux was chosen is jingoism by the city of Frankfurt. They simply didn't want an American winning, and were willing to do anything, even pay more, to accomplish that goal. And who can blame them, given the attitude of the current American government?
Looks more like you're the jingoist here.
There's no reason not to send out all word processing files in RTF format. Then, everyone can read them.
2 thought it funny, one thought it a troll. Wow, I'm impressed. Also, since you ahve som,little respect for 'slashbois', why do you fall back on their opinions to defend yourself? Still pathetic. Let's hear a fact, or an informed opinion.
