MickySoft may HAVE been used in large numbers in Germany, but there has been a LOT of dislike for M$ for a long time. I'd guess that yes, it IS "big news" there.
Yep, and I think that there will be a lot more cities over here falling now. IIRC this is the second one to fall, along with the government switching some of their computers over. One other thing I read was that SuSE and IBM were in the bidding for the contract. Now that would really be a feather in their cap!!
