Even their electronic tax declaration system (which you're required to use as a company in Germany) isn't working properly at times. You should think that - of all things - they should at least get that one right.
Germany government IT basically is a joke. Just Google for 'toll collect' for additional hilarity.
- brazzy 13y agoToll collect is actually working just fine. The original rollout was just a disaster because of a politically driven unrealistic deadline. And that never happens in nongovernment projects, yeah, right...
- kybernetyk 13y agoHeh, our only Windows PC in the office is used just for this. We're otherwise a Mac/Linux shop and the last time I tried filling my (personal) taxes with the Mac it failed horribly. At that time their Java applet wouldn't work with every browser and with the most recent JVM on OS X. So I had to switch through browsers, Google around and downgrade my Java VM. After some tinkering (a lost Saturday) it finally worked but I don't want something like that in my business. That's why we have one PC here :)
