So that is not very helpful for many of us. If you could
point to an HTML version of the document so we could use
Google to translated that would be very useful.
Alternatively, you could give us a summary in English of
what you found. Thanks.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The Google translation someone posted in a reply looks like no more than what
has appeared in English language news articles. The rebuttal is the same quote
from Karl-Heinz Schneider, head of City of Munich's municipal IT service, in
which he says that he has not seen the report which Microsoft has refused to
release, then goes on to rebut what he can glean from the press releases about
it. What stands out for me is that the report says that Munich could have stayed
with Windows XP instead of migrating anything, while Schneider says that they
were running Windows NT and faced the choice between paying to upgrade to XP or
migrate to Linux. The report also ignores the cost of upgrading from XP to
Windows 7 which would likely have had to happen by now. That's some pretty
serious fees for Windows licenses that the report ignores.
This article in
IT-World appears to be the source that other English language articles are
quoting:
Microsoft won't release study that
challenged success of Munich's Linux migration
