Read the article (and, if you are able, the ones in German) – this has nothing at all to do with Excel having more hotkeys. LiMux has been around for a long time, and those wrinkles had been pretty much ironed out. Mayor Reiter openly calls himself a "Microsoft fan". He got Microsoft to move their German HQ to Munich, which was a significant deal for the city. They then hired Accenture, an official MS partner company, to write an report on the city's IT problems. It concluded that LiMux administration is poorly coordinated between departments, and that was all the justification they needed to push for a migration back to Windows. I am surprised this Techcrunch piece is so "balanced", including a parroting of the understated official cost estimates. This deal is a stupendous waste of taxpayers' money, and German-language news (at least those I've read) are much less subtle about it.
