Yes and no ... This city is using millions for street sweeping, paying existing developers some money they could have basically everything ported. And we are not talking about millions.

In open source development half a million is full time company budget. In MS environment it's consulting fee for how to do things.

But I do agree on Office being the moneymaker, on top of selling personal data collected by Windows 10. Obviously they are selling it all, what's the point to otherwise collecting it.
