That Munich report - cat out of bag?
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, January 26 2013 @ 12:02 PM EST
My German is not good enough for a proper translation. I only just got the gist
of it. But, Pages 8 and 9 can be copied and fed into a translation facility.

That Munich report - cat out of bag?
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, January 26 2013 @ 12:04 PM EST
I extracted the relevant text (pages 8 and 9) and fed it through Google
translate which produced the following:

HP study investigated on behalf of Microsoft LiMux conversion
(01/22/2013) Under the intriguing title "Ude has squandered millions on
Linux machine?" Focus Money Online reported on a study that
HP is said to have made on behalf of Microsoft. The study proved alleged that
the city by moving to LiMux and OpenOffice
saved not tens of millions, but even paid on top
would.
This explains Karl-Heinz Schneider, head of the city's IT service
IT @ M: "Of course we will deal with this criticism gladly. I have
therefore Microsoft immediately prompted to us
Study to be made available. What I found so far the press
could throw, however, serious doubts about the validity of the study
on.
"
Let there to study the licensing costs would have been incurred in the use of
Microsoft products that are not considered from the outset. Schneider:
"This allows us to study the lion's share of the savings of nearly
seven million euros just fall by the wayside.
"
The claim that the continued inclusion in the Windows bar were absolutely no new
versions have required true, not true. Schneider
of: "A major trigger for the decision to provide the operating system
architecture to the test, was precisely the announcement
Microsoft to drop support for the then used as a standard in the city Windows NT
operating system. A migration to a
new operating system was therefore inevitable.
"
NA is also the claim that the city would have compared the cost of a current
Windows 7 with a ten year old version of Linux.
Schneider: "Of course, the client gradually optimize LiMux
been. The current version is comparable to the original client no longer needs
to project start and a comparison with Windows 7
to not be afraid.
"
Wrong, moreover, the presentation of the study, one in four city computers still
run on Windows basis, not because "all administrative procedures to
Linux migratable "were. Schneider: "It is true that not all business
applications can be migrated to Linux. As was evident from an-
nem "not all" a "not all" done. All web-based business
applications can be used without conversion expense and under LiMux
most of the procedures that are tightly integrated with Microsoft for over
other standard techniques are also used by the Linux client.
The number of remaining urban Windows machine is too high
resorted. Instead of claiming the study 75 percent, we have already
now converted 13,000 of the planned 15,000 jobs on LiMux -
which is nearly 87 percent.
"
