The city council was overwhelmingly in favor at the time, as was the administration. There were also only positive independent studies until the very end, when a negative one came from a company that cooperates with Microsoft. That was the point at which the city council and administration were suddenly against Limux and made themselves dependent on MS again. There were also negotiations at the time regarding a Microsoft headquarters, which was subsequently built.
