We've been hearing a lot about Germany installing Linux PCs this
year--even though most of them will run Windows applications inside a
VMWare VM environment--but this week, Microsoft revealed that it
continues to grab the lion's share of software installations in a
country that the mainstream press would have you believe is "going
Linux." Microsoft will install Office 2003 on 110,000 PCs in North
Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), the largest and most populated state in
Germany. NRW said that it chose Office 2003 largely for its XML
capabilities.
