If MS built their HQ in Munich because of that then it's an absolutely amazing deal for Munich.
Just the tax on salaries from those 1900 people working there will pay off the costs of switching to Windows in a very short time.
And as a nice bonus I'm sure that 28% of users that "have severe issues related to software, which could be solved by migrating these users to Windows and MS Office."[0] will also be happy.

- himlion 9y agoMost of that tax money would not go to the city level government though.
- germanier 9y ago15% of tax revenue ends up at the municipality to be exact.
- germanier 9y agoThey moved their HQ from just outside the city border to inside the city. I doubt many of the employees will move (salary is taxed at the place of residence).
