Although the city will continue to run Linux on its servers, the plan to migrate the clients has now been put on hold.
Director of Competition and development Lars Tveit said the City of Bergen will only use Linux where it makes sense.
'An exaggerated belief in Linux can make you lose your focus and might harm other important tasks,' he said.
Microsoft Corp. products will continue to live a healthy life within the city boundaries.
'We use Microsoft and we have no plans to throw it out. It will be too costly to train all our users in a new system' Tveit said.
