This is a comment on news story: Ballmer chuckles over Linux woes
It's a reply to comment:

chuckle by: Jaccoverhoeven 
This man chuckles about the fact that one of his own customers has difficulty to loosen the iron grip that ms has on them. Why does ms has an iron grip? Not because of any application or OS of theirs that Munich uses. It must be the very specific applications which only are written for ms stuff and only for this municipality. So the iron grip of ms is not even due to their own merits or it must be the game with the market they've been playing for about 25 years or so. This grown up man thinks it's funny when his customers want to loosen his grip on them and have difficulty with that. I hope the whole world has seen this or read about his behaviour. It will be an extra spur to choose another company's software or open source software
