Also there a _lot_ of different cities and municipalities in Europe. And when it succeeds you don't usually hear about it. Like when I worked at an MPI in Germany, all the machines used Ubuntu. In Catalonia, most of the universities also use Ubuntu. The Ayuntamiento uses LibreOffice (and maybe also Ubuntu in some parts) - and for the most part, it all just works. It was the same in Zaragoza too. You only notice it when they accidentally send a .odt file to someone who is only using Windows for example.
