Schleswig-Holstein, one of Germany’s 16 states, on Wednesday confirmed plans to move tens of thousands of systems from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The announcement follows previously established plans to migrate the state government off Microsoft Office in favor of open source LibreOffice.

German government is forth and back with the decision since the early 2000.

I hope they pull through just like France is doing (referring to the video someone posted here)

Yes, I remember reading about these huge migrations to Linux in the early 2000s, only for Microsoft to open up shop in the area and start lobbying for a reversal. It was always disappointing to hear cases of returning to MS. Let’s hope they stay the course this time.
