 | | Nine German cities in the state of Rheinland Pfalz are in advanced talks to replace many, if not all, of their Microsoft Corp. software products with open-source alternatives, particularly the Linux operating system. |
 | | The cities are among the largest in the state of Rheinland Pfalz: Alzey, Kaiserslautern, Koblenz, Landau, Mainz, Neustadt, Speyer, Trier and Worms. |
 | | Should they dump Microsoft for open source, they would join two other cities that have already made the move: Schwäbisch Hall and Munich. |
