Battle heats up Munich software deal

NZheretic writes “From Expatica.com, Germany: In a battle heating up over a software deal for the city administration of Munich, US giant Microsoft has lowered its price offer by another 15 per cent in order to prevent the city switching to Linux.… If it switched to Linux, Munich would be the first major German city to do so and could pave the way for other cities to make the switch, something which Microsoft aims to prevent, especially after the German parliament, the Bundestag, has decided to use Linux.”
