Story: Vienna hobbles open-source migration
Questions need to be asked
If I lived and paid tax in Vienna I would be asking some pretty uncomfortable questions about this. €8m plus whats been spent on the custom Linux distro is a lot of money to replace something that is essentially already working when its only one application that is causing problems and there is a fix only a year away. Seems to me there is more to this than the lame excuse that has been provided here, maybe the deal that's been struck with Microsoft needs to be examined to see the real reason for the change of heart. After all migrating to Vista is no picnic and they are bound to have to scrap a lot of older hardware as part of roll out.
