anyone remember the time the city of Munich was fully running on "Limux" until the bavarian greed kicked in and they switched back to Microsoft for 8000 jobs Bill promised them? I am sure the greed will kick in again. People are shit.

How was switching to MS supposed to create jobs? Genuine question.

Microsoft built their HQ in Munich as part of the “deal” as far as I remember. Something along those lines. The secret ingredient is corruption.
