Your very own link is titled "additional-linux-especialists". Get the word additional? It's what they have (e.g., 500) plus 4.
Now, let's recap some things:
a) M$ makes software which have some problems, which are widely known; b) M$ is from the USA; c) Munich is not in the USA; d) M$ makes money for itself and largely to pay USA infrastructure and USA taxes, which are used to """defend""" the country; e) Windows is more expensive than Linux as been shown repeatedly in many studies; f) Maybe, just maybe, Munich is considering strategic reasons and money saved over the long haul in their decision to move to Linux; g) Outside of third party applications (AutoCAD, Adobe's, etc.), M$ Office offering have been matched by Openoffice.org -- which even reads old M$ formats better than M$ products themselves! ; h) Games and tax software don't count in business scenarios, because games are a big NO and tax software is different for every country and they must have theirs in Linux, as my country has; i) I got tired. You lose.
Go use M$ products if you want and let others mind their own businesses.
