Map from 1975 ๐
Most of these listicle items are a decade old, at least the Munich one has failed. I'd also be surprised if the GDR picturesd in that map ditched Microsoft... I see so many accounts peddle their stupid AI aggregators here, it's getting annoying.
I'm not sure Munich can be regarded as a failure. MS corrupted the test case in every way they could. They couldn't afford it to be seen as successful.

Now it's not just cost but American can be seen as a reliable partner. Let anyone an American corporation.
I totally agree and I'm not saying FOSS is useless, quite the contrary. My only point was that articles like the above make it easy to frame the FOSS-hype as a nothingburger by being poorly researched, which is not what the movement needs.
