SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - If Microsoft Corp. had any hope
of seeing Munich back away from its landmark decision last year to
abandon Windows software in favor of open-source Linux, that hope faded

Munich, Germany's third-largest city, decided to take a calculated risk

despite concerns of possible software patent infringements raised in the
debate over new European Union patent legislation.
