Munich Struggling with Linux Transition?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the total-cost-of-ownership dept.

rune2 writes "The Toronto Star has an article up that mentions that Steve Ballmer is gloating about how the Munich transition to Linux and Open Source software isn't going too well." Even if the transition is going poorly, what about when Munich is finally set? Funny how there's no mention of all the future costs of licenses they've already saved themselves from, yet there's a nice plug for the next version of Windows. Last time I checked, Windows' upgrades from one version to the next were not free by any definition.

    Y'know, from a distance, Steve Ballmer looks a lot like Terry Bradshaw.

    Troll? Ha, ha... Gotta love Slashdot where
    telling the truth gets labeled as a troll.
    Pretty telling actually about the community's
    ethics.

    minor note for you: expect nothing but mindless repeating of the Microsoft party line from spectecjr. He's a former Microsoft employee.

    I have once before, in another discussion, pointed out that he failed to disclose his possible grounds for bias, only to have him try and smear my reputation all over the 'Net

    Bullshit, Mart. If I recall correctly, it was you who started posting about my posts here in newsgroups. You started that, not me.

    Don't like it? Stop being such a dick.
