I'm honestly surprised. Germany has been the home of OpenSuse for a decade or so now, has had Christian "democrats" torpedoing any effort to get Linux into government (Munich) and yet, now it's at 5.25%? What's going on?

I think Germany also has above average market share of Firefox.

I think europe in general has above average usage of Firefox. It did not die there as much. Alghtough germany is certainly above average in that regard.

Whaaait, this isn't the full story. Microsoft build a new branch location in Munich. It's obvious that there where some deals to get away from linux. (Maybe). The official story is, that the civil servants wants MS Office back.

Actually there are new projects to get away from windows in gov at the other side of Germany: "Schleswig-Holstein"
