@nixCraft note that this is a very small ministry with about 80 staff members. And they will only switch a small part of the total M$ suite. So it is foredoomed to be an amazing failure, that will allow everyone to conclude that OSS is useless and we should not switch.

@hetoug @nixCraft The issue with OSS is its funding model. I like the Linux Kernel model where people working on it are paid by the companies using it. Including upstreaming any improvements to the mainline repo.
