The "real reasons" were "lack of support". But we all know you can buy support from Canonical or SuSE, and have access to professional cloud services oriented to huge enterprises. But... as you said, I guess this is something else. Like the strange contracts signed by the Spanish Government with Microsoft Iberica (Spanish part of Microsoft, obviously) for installing Windows on ALL ministries (you can see everywhere: hospitals / healthcare, social, taxes, etc). Your thoughts?
