[SWLUG] Interesting news

It may or may not be news to people here but I just
read that Munich city council has abandoned Windows in
favour of Linux and some local authorities here seem
to be doing the same.

In the article I read (I'm not sure where I read it
now although I did come across something similar in
this week's Private Eye), they were saying something
to the effect that Microsoft were introducing or were
using an annual renewable license for using Windows
and that the bodies concerned weren't impressed.
Mention was made that they were going over to star
office.

Is there any truth to the reports?
