Green Party Leaders Don't Want Windows In Munich (techrepublic.com)

Posted by msmash on from the good-call dept.

Reader sqorbit writes: Munich spent a lot of time (9 years) and a lot of money in shifting some 15,000 staff to a Linux-based OS. The plan now is to move to Windows 10 by 2021. Munich's Green Party is citing the WannaCry virus as a valid reason not to switch to Windows. "As with many of the biggest attacks, the computers that were mainly hit were running the Windows operating system," the Green Party said in a statement.

      It's the heat loss in winter. The green party insists on everything being as insulated as possible and you lose a lot of heat via the windows. So they want them all removed.

      I'm as environmentally progressive as the next guy, but this is taking it too far. ;Q
