The LiMux project in Germany had some shady stuff going on in the background. Microsoft almost certainly bribed the new conservative government to switch everything back to Windows. There was a great documentary about it from DW that interviewed some whistleblowers, but I can no longer find it. However, Quidsup on Youtube did a good video encapsulating the course of events.
Great find, I was aware of that situation but it doesn’t mean what I said wasn’t also happening “in the background”. Everyone was profiting from consulting companies to Microsoft.
Those documentaries are great findings (and really really interesting). I would highly suggest posting them to the channel (or I would be happy to if you don’t mind)

EDIT: I was able to find the documentary by searching the old title in German, which brought up the original German version, and from there found the English translation!
Thank you. DW is such an amazing resource. I really like their podcasts and videos.

Please do! But what channel are you referring to?
