German Government: "Users have, it claims, also complained of missing functionality, a lack of usability and poor interoperability."
The rule is always; "User-Curve actually is generational." Microsoft and Win* has dogmatic converts, most of them know little to nothing about change and technology, and explicit-policy career-managers (includes CIO/CTO) are career-safety conscious never innovative.
Until, small-Biz (implicit governance) becomes big-Biz competitor, most institutional (explicit governance) organization, processes, and policy will remain adverse to (risk) technology and change. Initial big-Biz reaction to innovative small-Biz competition is reactionary with anti-compete buy-laws, buy-out small-Biz, or feeble copy, crash, repeat attempts until marginal success or failure is achieved by reaction (not reason).
Governments (like big-Biz) are institutional (explicit governance) organization, processes, and policy. Their planned purpose, with potential for good or bad, is stability (economic, market, institution, culture), control, and survival.
IMO: L/FOSS-Linux adoption for users and managers has a higher probability of implementation-transition in small-Biz, child education, and academic classrooms. Big-Biz is highly successful at planning strategic reality, but frequently fails at achieving actuality.
IOW: Reality is pie in the sky (high hopes), until there is actual transformational experience, change, innovation. The actual (Generational User-Curve) transformational experience, change, innovation for the German government is unlikely, unless the educational system is capable of producing (as flexible as many of/. users) the future managers and users. So, yes, big-Biz/governments could eventually evolve a more apt, agile, flexible functionality, but actually, though not explicitly, they are always against the unknown.
To evolve a more apt, agile, flexible functionality in the workforce/workplace there should be a mix of MS, OSS/Linux, Apple... users/platforms. Let the users pick their platforms for productivity. WebSOA, standards, and applications can assure appropriate and adequate interoperability (planned reality requires actual vendor compliance).
I started using Apple with a Motorola MC68000 running CP/M in 1984. Then in 1991 Microsoft and Win* started infesting the office workspace. At home I am a Linux user (1995...Present), today at work only Microsoft and Win* compliant products are ever used.
I remember the behavior of the managers and office workers to changes in technology and staff (from 1984...Present). Managers and workers constantly tag change and technology (the great unknowns) as waste that causes problems, failures... evil. Blame-Storming (in Biz today) always starts with the evils of change and technology, until the innovators are identified, and career-penalized as the cause of change and technology plagues.
You're a flaming idiot, as was Hitler, Stalin, Chaney/Bush, Caesar, Napoleon.... Also, your rationality is as questionable. Please, seek help or incarceration soon. %~P
When we are unwilling to seek, at risk of our lives, and demand justice and equality for all "We The People" cease to be a democracy. Those Citizens that are always willing to defend the minority/weak are democratic Citizens. All other citizens are evil mental and emotional cripples [AKA: fools].
Poetic: A democratic Citizen is always a Knight of the Woe-Folks Continent.
IP = Internet Protocol and Intellectual Property rights as copyright, patents, and trademarks for corporate control of creativity and innovation are the biggest block to innovation.
Open Idea Protection (OIP) for the artist, scientist, engineer... is needed.
1. The artist, scientist, engineer... that is the driving intellect should have exclusive and lifelong rights to their creations and innovations irrespective of any corporate/government investments. Allow artist, scientist, engineer... to contract out rights (to others/businesses) exclusive rights for a limited period of a decade or less for production or manufacture of a product/object, never allow a business/government/religious... institution to own the rights to anything intellectual. So, the artist, scientist, engineer... is always paid for their creations and innovations.
2. Provide by law that any non-production or non-manufacture use of a item/information/product/object... is always legal and allowed for furthering research, design, development... curiosity in study/improving upon all creations or innovations.
3. Arbitration by expert peer review to determine the added value and division of proceeds when an item/information/product/object... is used for production, manufacture, and commercial/economic exploitation.
4. Why, because only humans (artist, scientist, engineer...) are in fact intellectual. Institutions have explicit/written financial/governance processes/policy, but absolutely no intellectual capability. IOW: You don't create you don't own. Copyright, patents, and trademarks are should protect the artist, scientist, engineer... not the brainless/amoral institutions.
Democracy is a concept of governance by "We The People."
Democracy can never be tyranny. Democracy enfranchises and protects all citizens equally, by the disenfranchisement and defense against all forms of institutional corporate, political, racial, religious demagoguery, dogma, genocide. Democracy empowers the welfare of "We The People." Democracy governs the unthinking dogmatic institutions of business, politics, religion... in order to prevent the usurpation of governing power from "We The People."
We The People can be a great democracy.
A gang of dogmatic losers/fanatics are never a democracy. A gang of dogmatic losers/fanatics can be called a bunch of idiots, bigots, fools, mental and emotional cripples, but such bunches are much like insects searching for a queen to serve, or a master by which to be serviced.
Ideas...Money, Thinking...Deciding, Innovation...Stability... what get respect and what gets the funny/weird look in any meeting.
Business will always be ass-backwards, until management and budgets can manage the realities of business, and creativity and productivity can be respected with equal respect, pay, benefits packages.... Business are all marching and marking time to their point of failure, because business managers (C*Os) almost always are clueless about what is next for creativity and productivity direction/evolution. Good/Bad Time Economic realities are at the center of all reward/blame-storming, actually it is always good/bad decisions made by very average people crowned with the C*O, Leader, Rank titles.
Corporate governance of a nation is a real perspective for US, EU, RU and others. Religious governance of a nation is a real perspective for Iraq, Iran, Arabia and others. Dogma governance of a nation is a real perspective for China, Burma, *Stan and others. Governance, of a nation by leaders (C*Os, clergy, politicians...) without accountability, of people without representation is a real perspective for them all.
IOW: Governments are what "We The People" make them. Governance by the people is not near the burden as the absence of government; Hence, shit-heads and pure horror will fill the vacuum when "We The People" refuse to Govern as a strong and indivisible union.
Government is an institution that only fools and dogmatism blame for problems caused by "We The People."
‘Separation of State and Dogma...’ was (I believe) the intention of the USA Founding Fathers and Authors of The USA Constitution.
Political, religion, corporate dogma (script-beliefs) must be kept separated from ever becoming governance of The People by the leading plutocrat/oligarch of a special-interest dogma (Tokemata, Falwell, Jim Jones, Pope, Hitler, Stalin, Ms Mao, C*Os, Democrats, Republicans).
‘Organizations of unequal membership are carelessly dogmatic. Professionally trained dogma regurgitive elite superiors make their decisions. This means they reflect the dogmatic interests of their lords and masters, and serve to perpetuate dogmatism.’
The App abbreviated word for Applications was being used long before Apple marketing said app. Firefox says bookmark, Google says app, Cable-TV for years said broadband for low rate wideband.
Actually marketing-BS is reality only or the wanabees. For the real folks (Geeks, Phreaks...) marketing-BS is a way to separate the wheat from the chaff. So, bookmarks are always bookmarks, apps are always apps, and wideband was never broadband.
Marketing people/reality will never understand technology, and can never make marketing-BS actuality.
I have a PS3 (presently DS is best, repeat), Linux PC, Comcast DVR hooked to a 32" screen.
The PS3 now offers both NetFlix and Vudu. I checked both and decided to turn off my Vudu box and use the PS3 for Vudu service.
I chose Vudu because of the pay-as-u-go model and user interface was for me a better solution. The NetFlix monthly-fee would be a waste or me.
For online gaming I would probably pick a pay-as-u-go service provider before a monthly-fee gouger like Comcast.
At ~60yo, I am very intolerant of inflexible games, limited/fixed-avatars/view (mods/moves), no surprises (one time is enough), no kill/map/weapons... randoms/variations/options, time delays, audio/video-issues.... Unless the game service provider can figure out how to nationally/globally distribute/virtualize/containerize infrastructure and functionality to geographic/temporal-communities, and client-game-side app requirements and very fast small data-transactions for MMOG/Experience... They will not get me to use/subscribe.
I will always agree with Oscar and Albert. The concepts behind their quotes were used to express hubris as used by some of the individuals identified in Fulbright's quote and today by many politicians, C*Os, clergy....
The USA Constitution does not enfranchise "groups of people" only the individual.
Institutions (religious, corporate, cults, groups...) are not provided any rights/freedoms. When those institutions seek to control government and disenfranchise one or all citizens from equal protection of The USA Constitution/Law they are in fact a foreign or domestic enemy of The USA Constitution/Law and a threat to the peace and welfare of a nation. Are we to be slaves to corporations, aristocracy, clergy... or a nation of free individuals.
The spin-law today protected global corporate interest from bankruptcy, failure, and divestiture, but did little pro/post-actively to prevent the devastating impact upon the People.
Line -1 is what I observe as fact (If, Then) neither point is false. There is as you observed a real dichotomy stated, as cultural fact, intentionally by me.
Line-2 provides the sick-humor hubris used by politicians, C*Os, clerics... dogmatist (like all nuts) never question their world view.
IOW: Cold winter negates human-caused global warming is pure hubris and fact for ill-witted dogmatist.

Propaganda is a menu of dogma-tarts for salivating idiots, all seeking to bake-people and eat ash.
DoD-GO, C*O, globally politicians...clergy some are good and most are bad. The way to tell is listen for any dogma.
Sadly, the salivating idiots and fearful majority only know how to irrationally and dangerously regurgitate dogma upon US, EU, RU....
Thanks Much, I think there is no way to reason with evil idiots and citizens of Megalomania.
I guess another flaming idiot on the topic of democracy.
Rule by majority is never a democracy. Rule by majority is mob rule (Nazi, Communist...) not any form of civilized democratic government.
Rule by majority is mob rule is lynching of innocents not democracy.

Good one, at which point does the derivations stop being democracy and become a tyranny.
Stretch/spin/frame the truth to far and in fact it is a lie. Politicians/Leader (many not all) are the professional taffy-truth tellers.
Thanks, very well said.
Democracy was not involved in the death of Socrates; any more than a lynch mob in the 1890's USA south was democratic or seeking justice.

SciFicPhy-101 is pure levity field theory for public understanding of many obvious unknowns that ain't no godddd.
I will pray that the abnormal religiosity gene is recessive.
I will pray that the religiosity gene is predominantly dormant in the secular population.
I will pray that normal genes are dominant, and that Robert Rowthorn, emeritus professor at Cambridge University is kept far away from all students.
Religiosity, godddd said, is a mater of nurture not nature.
I agree, I would have created a national judicial-care system before trying to fix USA health-care.
Law is big business/institution. Some lawyers are still folks, but many are just parts of the big-brother machines.
I will always agree with Oscar and Albert. The concepts behind their quotes were used to express hubris as used by some of the individuals identified in Fulbright's quote and today by many politicians, C*Os, clergy....
