In specific regards to Munich, the used car salesman crossed with a mafia don that is Steve Ballmer did apparently pay the Munich authorities a visit and made them an offer they did refuse to undercut the Suse/IBM bid sometime last year. Which makes it far more interesting as they apparently went for the best on balance bid as opposed to the cheapest.
I had heard about that,too. I thought that maybe Ballmer had upped the anti by promising the Munich mayor a villa on Sicily or something. Good to hear how sensible the Bavarians are.
