Swiss Canton Abandons Linux Migration

Posted by timothy on from the eaten-employees-eh? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Swiss canton Solothurn has put a stop to their ongoing migration to Linux. [Original, in German.] The project started in 2001, and has been under harsh public criticism ever since. The responsible CIO resigned this summer. Solothurn plans to convert all desktop computers to Windows 7 in 2011."

    From the article:

    Delays in the implementation, immature software, eaten employees...

    It's no wonder Linux never got off the ground, if employees have to fear being eaten, then there's something seriously bad about the implementation.

    Although I'm hoping this is just a Google Translation error, but seeing how many billions of dollars Google has to refine its programs, I'm doubtful that this is anything but a perfect translation.

    My condolences to the employees who were eaten by Linux.
