A comprehensiveWindows-to-Linux Migration Guide, exploring the technical, commercial and social costs of major migration projects, has been released by the German Ministry of Interior Affairs.
Based in part on the experiences of the City of Munich, and its announced plans to move away from Microsoft Windows to the Linux open source system, the guide describes the number and diversity of solutions encountered, defines important selection criteria, such as size, intensity of IT use and degree of “specialization” of public agencies, as well as product comparisons and TCO studies.
