Microsofts Fail
This is Microsofts own fault, they change things so they can charge for another licence, then stop supporting the old versions so forcing anyone who wants to be supported to upgrade.
You cant criticise a publicly funded organisation who has to justify spending taxpayers money looking for ways to get out of the upgrade cycle.
Windows and Office are a tool for a job, the job in most offices doesnt change much, especially in government so why would you need to keep upgrading?
I use Microsoft all the time, and some of the upgrades for me, I like, such as Windows 7 and office 2003,
But Windows 8 and any Office version past 2003 force you down a path a lot of users dont want to go.
Good luck to Munich and any other organisation that doesnt want to be dictated to by Microsoft.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
