Schleswig-Holstein, one of Germanyโ€™s 16 states, on Wednesday confirmed plans to move tens of thousands of systems from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The announcement follows previously established plans to migrate the state government off Microsoft Office in favor of open source LibreOffice.

IMO there should come an European law that forces computer manufactuers to offer customers the option between Windows or Linux. This is a way to make Linux more mainstream, but still leaving the final decission to the customer.

Should this ever be the case, I am sure that Linux would become more popular, simply because the same computer would be cheaper just because of the operating system choice. Windows licenses aren't cheap.
