  • The city council was overwhelmingly in favor at the time, as was the administration. There were also only positive independent studies until the very end, when a negative one came from a company that cooperates with Microsoft. That was the point at which the city council and administration were suddenly against Limux and made themselves dependent on MS again. There were also negotiations at the time regarding a Microsoft headquarters, which was subsequently built.

It wasn’t problematic either, but failed because Munich’s mayor is an MS fanboy and MS helped with lobbying. If you look today, Schleswig Holstein, for example, uses a lot of open source and other federal states are slowly following suit. Lobbying is causing extreme problems.
