>Also when your solution adoption will have grown much larger you should learn from the experiences Bavaria and CERN went through. Microsoft stronghold more often than not has nothing to do with technical prowess.

Can you elaborate on those experiences?

The government of Bavaria, one of the wealthiest countries of the German federation and thus of the world, tried to replace Microsoft with Linux and generally FOSS solutions. Twice.

CERN tried to replace Office with NextCloud. It is now struggling to cope with a policy reversal under Microsoft fanboys.

Both cases were also discussed here.
