The problem I believe is that Microsoft products are so commonly used, that for a relatively small business (as opposed to the whole german goverment) it is detrimental to go against the flow. What about software that is specifically written for windows and not alternative OS's? You CAN make a statement and try to use another OS, but you are only going to hurt yourself from a business perspective
