"MUNICH (Reuters) - The city of Munich said on Wednesday that it would
switch 14,000 computers from Microsoft's Windows operating system to rival
Linux. The decision is a blow to U.S. giant Microsoft, whose chief
executive Steve Ballmer had personally campaigned for Microsoft's counter-
offer to the city, based on Windows XP."
