I came 4 years ago to Germany to do my PhD at a University and even here I can feel the rigidity in the integration of new technologies. You might expect that at least in universities they would be more flexible about which tools you use, but it took me 3 years to get Linux installed in my computer! Who could tell how many hours I lost because I had to use windows?! (an OS I just cannot work as efficiently as in Linux.) They love to give excuses about security concerns, but they don't even try!
