Germany and ping ponging between proprietary and free software every 2 years, name a better duo
It is like... Each time we showed how well you can live with open source, Microsoft comes around with an even bigger coffin of lobby money.
It's not just lobbying. The expertise to build and certify what Microsoft did for government cloud is expensive and rare. Open source still needs a third party to provide that level of support, because the documentation is more important than the technical capabilities.
Hire any competent Linux sys tech?
Tech corpo shills hate the idea of government going open source. Think of all that investment into your competition that is known to be the better approach.
