Not sure if anyone posted it here yet, no time to read the board today ....

Something about how they won a war with microsoft for the city of munich or so?

Something happened where microsoft wanted 33.6 mil i think for the contract, then when they heard that linux was competing with them for it, they dropped their price considerably to grab the contract ... the buyers did not like this move and went with linux (i THINK)

as i said i dont know if the battle is over yet, but if/when it is, the winner will be distributed on all home pc's in that city ...

wish i had a link, sorry cant find one, was a good read.
