I hope that other countries are looking closely and can profit from the legwork thenDanish are doing.
From the article:
The city governments in Denmark’s two largest cities Copenhagen and Aarhus both say they have decided to phase out Microsoft as a provider of various IT systems.
Copenhagen Municipality said that due to financial considerations, concerns over dependency on a near-monopoly, and the geopolitical climate under US president Donald Trump, it had decided to phase out Microsoft as a main IT supplier.
“If, theoretically, relations with the US were to deteriorate, you could be concerned that Microsoft would be forced to shut everything down,” elected official Henrik Appel Espersen, chair of the city’s audit committee, told newspaper Politiken.
“That risk is real. And if we suddenly can’t send emails or communicate within our systems, we’re in trouble,” he added.
Yo I’ll be hoping for a chain reaction / domino effect. Nice going Denmarkians.
Did you know that OneDrive installs itself on all Samsung phones and can’t be uninstalled?
In Germany, the city of Munich had migrated away from Windows to Linux sometime 10 years ago, and only recently returned to Microsoft after intense lobbying by Microsoft. It will be interesting to see if they reconsider in the future.
Hats off to Denmark 🇩🇰🎩
TIL cities still use Microsoft in 2025 for some reason
Microsoft solutions are garbage anyway.
Finally! We should have done this years ago.
