Munich deputy mayor, Josef Schmid, and mayor, Dieter Reiter
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieter_Reiter>, considering going back to
Windows due to productivity problems. Munich city council spokesman Stefan
Hauf explained that the majority of issues stem from compatibility issues
in OpenOffice <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice>, something a switch
to LibreOffice <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice> could solve. In
addition, the city council and Karl-Heinz Schneider, head of municipal IT
services, said that most of things are fine, they saved €10 million (more
than US$13 million), and there is no serious reason to come back. Microsoft
wants to move German headquarters to Munich in 2016, helped by Reiter who
describes himself as a "Microsoft fan".
