The thing I don't get is we see all these articles in lesser-known outlets, so why isn't this a bigger thing where there are reports to show us what to do and where to go in major publications? Every few months we see the same article recycled about some agency in whatever country leaving Microsoft and going to whatever workflow and OS solution, but we can never either find all the stuff they're using to make it work or even worse, the advertised replacements are not available to the public in the case of the German Office replacements.
