About Germany, I think it depends on the very place and attitude of
people. Of course, there are landmark projects like the LiMux migration
in Munich, but, at the same time, still once in a while you read about
another government of a city or a federal state being "proud to sign an
exclusive contract" with Microsoft in order to get "quality software" at
more "attractive pricing and licensing terms" (whatever those might be).

And, even worse, it's the same about schools... :(

Cheers,
Kris
