So TDF has a fascinating article on their blog discussing how the Austrian military made the switch. It took a lot of planning and there was a huge amount of work to help move people along.

I suspect this may not have been the case here. But I’m sure we’ll find out the gory details soon enough

I swear I have been reading this article for 20 years. Some gov org balks at Microsoft cost and pitches free alternative. They dont plan on spending extra to complete the transition and then dont adequately train or build out the infrastructure.

Replacing an intrenched system with a free software alternative successfully will require more money in the first few years, not less.
