LXer: Barcelona is moving to Linux; why not Dhaka?
Published at LXer:
The Spanish city of Barcelona just announced a few days ago that it will migrate desktops from MS Windows / MS Office to free alternatives. The question is why countries like Bangladesh are not making similar moves.
Distribution: Debian Sid AMD64, Raspbian Wheezy, various VMs

Rep:
Barcelona are trying to get their payments to M$ reduced, that is all. They'll go snivelling back like Muenchen did.
As for other countries -- free of cost is free so why care?
