The major engaged a M$-owned agency to assess the current state, and they suggest to switch to W10 and Office, which will cost 25+m more. Now you can call 1 + 1 together. Exactly that Heise.de news media did, the did a lot of investigative objective research and uncovered the scandal. Guess what happens, ...nothing.
