The city of Munich has affirmed its decision to make the switch from Windows and Office to Linux software on 14,000 desktop PCs, a report said.
In a $42 million migration plan, the German city will install Linux as well as open-source word processing, spreadsheet and Web-browsing programs, in place of Microsoft Office, on desktop PCs and laptops for 16,000 city workers.
Linux has continued as the fastest-growing computer-server software. And in recent months, Sun Microsystems, Novell and RedHat have begun packaging and marketing all-Linux networks, aiming to accelerate replacement of Microsoft Office with open-source programs, the report said.
