Great news! It's much more beneficial for all involved parties. Also, as the article mentions, moving to FOSS doesn't mean you're on your own. Just like Microsoft "Partners" help with integration and smooth operation, there are similar agencies offering the same services for FOSS solutions.

Not only that, but feedback and bugfixes to FOSS software indirectly benefits others too instead of some Microsoft manager. So, good use of tax money benefiting citizens and everyone else!
