I have read items like this for years about some jurisdiction in Europe switching to FOSS. These things take a long time to implement, lot of retraining of people that have used MS for decades. The cost is significant since you still need to pay the license fees and have support during the transition.
In this case it’s the entire government top-down. It’s not just a jurisdiction. They have probably weighed the cost benefits of transitioning vs throwing money at Microsoft forever
