This is great! I hope it succeeds, and shows others that it is possible.

Lie to me once Microsoft shame on you, lie to me twice shame on me.

Good on them. Those are all solid choices.

I prefer Evolution over Thunderbird, personally. But to be fair, there aren’t any mail clients for Linux that I would say I genuinely like. I’m always open to suggestions, though.

An interesting fact about Europe is they've long disobeyed their own procurement laws to choose Microsoft software, whether its corruption or what I've got no idea, I assume so though.

That sounds like a ridiculously lowballed amount. Also, working with open source tools should increase productivity and decrease brainrot among workers in the public sector. Using Microshit kills brain cells. Not even joking, I actually think it makes users fucking dumb.

Good, good, but I guess it is only a plan to negotiate for lower prices.

But if they actually deliver without going back... 😍
