Re: 10 years to migrate 16000 PCs and they're going to go back to Windows ?
The pro-Linux faction didn't do their due diligence and promised things that - for whatever reason - they couldn't actually deliver, so the transition failed.
WHO says it failed?
The german report (the part released to the public; created with LibreOffice 4.1 on 2017-10-19; somewhat infected by SJW style of writing) says:
- They have trouble managing both LiMux and Windows clients (well, why not fix that)
- Their LibreOffice version is kinda old and not being maintained (well, why not fix that)
- They fail to properly open MS documents (well, take MS to the cleaners for that instead; open documents and all that)
How come the solution is to move to Windows 10 and Ms Office?
Additionally:
- They are in deep shit due to various unmaintained old applications that they need to access "old data" (this ain't gonna fix that)
- Lack of IT Governance (well, welcome to State!)
- No roadmaps for major solutions (by SAP and AKDB)
- They haven't even managed to make all the applications Unicode compatible yet
So there are other problems than "Linux".
