The biggest ever Windows-to-Linux migration - the city of Munich's 14,000 desktop switch - has been put on ice while legal issues are settled.

The move has been temporarily suspended over fears incoming EU legislation could cause the city a huge patent headache. Munich's pro-Linux, Green Party alderman Jens Muehlhaus has spotted 50 potential patent problems. Until they've been sorted, the migration is on hold.
