three has a name microsoft all the victims use the same software all are vulnerable in the same way all are dependent on one single company as is every state administration in europe. what are the consequences this is what we've the team of journalists from investigate europe wanted to find out the results are alarming. this is about the data of all citizens everyone is affected and the dependency is much deeper than just the use of microsoft word or excel almost every author or a team from the townhome to the vehicle registration office and the tax office works with software specially written for their purposes. these many thousands of

special programs are written for the windows operating system. the more complex information technology becomes the deeper the state is trapped in the microsoft monopoly. no one knows this better than martin child will manage the german government's id for eight years. the burden deutschland isn't defacto opting it's from microsoft i deny microsoft dying is that in his control comes when you go. microsoft's mission is it still doesn't just die it's in x. and y. does manage on the vitals and on the soft einsatz income invite you to comment on in microsoft or you can buy the and microsoft book on the bush woods and why question and serve idea is that stand all the microsoft software a lot of windows should naturally too i know virtual kitchen upping its kind of things that satisfy the end because it's not saying oh that's once a has a lot of these already president does it up any kind for nineteen years to learn.

afghan's idle admits the thought is you own the example nineteen has been developed home for nineteen deployed as a. marxist in deacon toilet. the stata semitic of sinai ignited ima via top and one in the van comes. in the lobby is it's bird it's a boy or tie and is the shows my night t.v. shows and they're both of them every line at the artist and you know if i'm to implement the v.v. toy as my nightie visibility and it is i don't either as has been a good move in the gulf side of. dependency is the result of a business principle with which the major software manufacturers and in particular microsoft have created monopolies worldwide keeping the source code the secret. modern software is written in programming languages the exact recipe of

a program or an entire operating system is created the source code every i.t. specialist can follow the source code however the computer and its processes count so the source code has to be converted by a translation program into machine code but this can only be read and understood by computers. this is the source code for the command show hello world as taught in every beginner's programming course the same command translated into machine code looks like this. microsoft makes the machine code available to its customers but nobody understands it however the source code is kept secret by the company in order to protect itself from imitators this business model is called proprietary only the manufacturer is able to change improve correct and fix security gaps in the software but this means the user is completely at the mercy of

the manufacturer for better or worse. all citizens data from text returns to finance flows through state administrations large data centers. we visit one of these top security server parks in hamburg the exact location of which we are not allowed to reveal let alone fill. however the fences and locks are no protection against the open flank microsoft. so. as i stated i was there he said it was one of our fault i understand there are others who. i know i'm sure there's an eight hundred started going in the new woman on. the in communities of the one house is a. serious millions of it's kind of hidden. one sided excellent. condition takes on insulin as it starts

a job to shows like this to get through this if adults have microsoft idea of i. agree with mines that it's open tennis australia it can all be all open source of escape but i see india is a puppet theatre self. give it is that's a great question why the south here is obviously the software can also of a different microsoft when as you noted it is. a few it is a difficult one of course of them to business yapping is trying to get its young listen before little seen or study games up in the fun files the files of in india listen i've. seen a reversal of things in time microsoft percentage that was on a school killing the stupidest of its own rules and microsoft intensely and that's the same young as well the content stuck on most microsoft isn't that hot and also all of the chinese going to this year if i don't like what's up with the kind that limited by force of will to prevent i needed for bush just out of. bed on an ocean i knew that it was going to go in the hundreds are i now i knew who knows because

it's not in the state of the nation are also on of guys and not even so sure. these alternatives have been around for a long time they're based on the fundamentally different principle called open source. in contrast to the proprietary software of microsoft and other companies open source software uses the source code that is publicly available. that's why hundreds of thousands of programmers around the world can improve it extended and fix bugs. the collective workforce of the swarm of programmers discovers and closes security. gaps and efficiently produces state of the art software including the world's most widely used operating systems linux and then droid. unlike microsoft windows linux is available free of charge. any organization or administration can customize it for its own purposes

without asking the corporation for permission nevertheless most government team managers believe that in public administration there is no alternative to microsoft even though this is long since become a profitable industry. does this kind of a not even get the straw man is it not for once it down there like a business i'm on a list of thousands not of the windows it's the young was done nish the ovation started it was a stain on all the funnies up in these cards and the find is a don't miss this in and it is going to be the noise of on and again as he does that others will merge later on in the at least on this is obviously it's a toy and survived on thousands of us but it's out now the target of us not what's another now and again but home is us your thoughts ideas with of i as a life order on incentive your order is two to one vote as a town. that's been soft as ornish to under the hood to cause of the national debt

and status definition i guess and does is does by my course of one of us run for from one devices and stand in is going against that industry and stand with their feet that run into the sea it's just as hopeless as it is and even then i'd never heard it is very knowledgeable invasive isn't as good let's this india chef time buys. today open source programs can easily compete with microsoft products as the company open exchange shows. this is software so i just consider office parkade from microsoft as its income. in this office has actually just industry flight from microsoft came here so much does image and i'm one of the best for that's really. ten minutes of i give up introduce less of the human. mind isn't the time when mr let's to move to texas etiam been so. unpleasant so do most of us nothing to make the comment on the phone also from us

on a visit sometimes food. money and vertical mental and i am someone via target for visits and. is kept on permanent work film and i know dems have no command the. doctors can be so busy ness and saying cling to us and always us on lots of fun events i offer software but it's the same someone seen as almost a cloud furnish one upping the stuff on them like the national do my small bit of fun of me that's going to buy this got his business when it's a buzzword on the phone and i'm sort of at odds with what i have ordered for the. phone still it comes in on the dog but it's not the notes as if it's just a stick and that's my moment if i daemons i gave us the day in office and then support us as this is the as in for life i seen the loans on been up and then the good thing is not as there goes this big it wasn't an annoyance of the month on which i was. just going to miss which of us is and there's some one for us it will

depend. on and for the. licensing numbers. matter us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten points over time stamp each. eighty five percent. of the rich point six percent market share thirty percent year some with four hundred to five hundred three for sure for sure. going rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building to. point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember of one one and showed you know for a minute the one and only thing. about

your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last to bang turn. your attitude up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry honey i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was a game still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with death this one difference i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. all

across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies who create interviewed by little simple small polani bonsai company guess will elsewhere though they invite private companies to take over the utilities many by the tell us drop off. guys you've got to be well on the public or. have been pieces of us that got them out of your corporate or your valuable billet bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water is about water but it's also over much more than war it's about the hurt and the redistribution of our woes to. on date downwards. the iran nuclear deal was one seen as a major achievement of american diplomacy but that's no longer the case donald

trump's decision to pull out of the deal has reopened a major international problem they have to analyze betrayed and adversaries confused should the world perceive. as some officials do not. fully understand or do not fully accept the principle of football being beyond politics that's a fundamental principle of the world football. for granted some people may have opinions but it's their own opinions and doesn't influence opinions of the many other football fans who are on buying tickets every day in large volumes.

the use of open source software has long been standard practice for private corporations. the global giants of the digital economy such as facebook amazon google pay pal only work with open source they would never give their competitor microsoft access to their information technology by using their software good european states continually surrender to the old monopoly through contracts. in these microsoft and governments come to an agreement on the conditions whereby government institutions may use the software giant's programs. the german ministry of the interior is legally bound to allow inspection of such contracts however. the ministry has blackened all the essential parts like prices conditions and security requirements the reason given trade secrets as claimed by microsoft in other words the corporation can decide what the public may learn about its dealings with taxpayers' money.

with the framework contracts governments allow all state institutions from local authority to parliament to obtain software directly from microsoft resellers this is legally questionable because this type of treaty overrides european law. accordingly public authorities are prohibited from buying products and services exceeding the value of one hundred thirty five thousand euros from just one supplier there has to be a public invitation to tender the german government's head of i t p t but appears to have no problems with this how does he justifies circumventing public procurement. in the. microsoft mission and done. on t.

in the time but. this is all as if i don't win if it in full partner i'll just have to invent the. on the london history lalas least of the stock and the. reason it's a nice. and ot them. going to nothing to. its source and fuck you fuck if it must. expose them and often it is just and that's as good as you took a little you did on this photo you missed in hundreds on fatigue and. microsoft needs and microsoft it's a numbers. you know. it's not that simple e.u. legislation expressly prohibits the preference of individual companies in public.

as well as the use of brand names and invitations to tender a lawyer specializing in i.t. and public procurement matures pops has been examining this practice for the past four years at the netherlands university of groningen so do framework agreements with microsoft violate e.u. law yeah yeah that's very clear it violates european law and when you ask organizations you know why are you doing this the people responsible for attend or they usually know that that file it's european law but they will say well even the european commission itself is doing it. how is it possible that top you or thore are breaking their own rules my colleague maria majority from the journalist team investigate europe has been a long time correspondent in brussels and knows who to ask. ok

who are we going to meet now and now we are going to meet. the sponsors of the entity inside of them and. my cousin i was already told they are going to sign a new contract with microsoft next year so good luck to those. next contract with microsoft and are you ready negotiating a new contract to adjust the plan is to go for a negotiated procedure with microsoft for the desk top layer. and for full for tender with a reseller. for microsoft doesn't the practice to negotiate this framework contract violate the rules of procurement which demands open competition no they don't there are different procedures foreseen by the picture and rules and of course the procedure is to open court for tender but then the negotiated procedure is a procedure that exists in the rules and it's. it's fully legal and the conditions

are that there is only one provider that can provide this particular solution the technical solution so there is no other possibility and what we've seen is that we if we didn't do call for tender and open call for tender for provision we would land with microsoft anyway and it would be much more expensive because what they're doing now is negotiating a price list together with microsoft which gives us huge discounts well it sounds very reasonable but this actually means that they have a problem within their organization. because they are obviously locked in. they are in a optimal situation because they are so dependent on working with microsoft that they are even thinking that they. function without the microsoft software it says more about their own organization then.

the topic of law because it basically means that they have internal problem that they have to fix but it doesn't mean that their current. disregard for human life what does the procurement law exactly say on the procurement law describes. social situations in which you can ask for a brand name being locked in is not an excuse to disregard the procurement rules. there is another way in munich under the leadership of former mayor christian the city administration has converted eighty percent of all markers of computers to the open source operating system linux since two thousand and four the project called limit was considered a great success. and was also copied in other european cities. in twenty twelve

detail writer at the time head of economics in the city government negotiated with microsoft to relocate their german headquarters to munich in twenty fourteen writer himself became the mayor since then has been working with the alliance of social democrats and conservatives to bring the city administration back into the arms of the monopolist if you just want and i. feel differently. and this man and i had business immediately on this is of i did not need to get on and police and fire i was killing this failure of take a two hour period as it causes passion for gale pushed into. the pitted and this and done in the final debate the mayor rejects the arguments of the opposition about independence and data security with the linux system and our use in his closing words in a very personal way i was mostly here i could come and when it does listen seen as

truth in the answer may provide shifts bikini inducing by cancer press release them a new president in full is clearly. trying to refrain dimon is limited if he. can do it if he merely soup it wasn't here for him dunk. is to look at the microsoft taking lies to him for the full article distortion concerns it's not mentioned in his i had four hundred top give distances i think it was definitively as youngest was know it was over the last you just assume. it was lockers to go to consort to introduce your kids fitted on windows to begin to. start. according to a survey the vast majority of city employees are quite satisfied with lee marks however. the experts found that the eighty was poorly managed partly because the

heads of departments were allowed to make their own decisions about how to use the programs but there was no fundamental technical problem as the previous head of munich's i t department told the industry news service is that. we can't interview the employees of the administration because they are not allowed to talk to us however an expert from the municipal department is prepared to talk to us anonymously so is there some truth in the claim that the open source system in the munich administration didn't work properly isn't it isn't touched them enough as it ought to still have a heart on it about it and cannot defend the long as. a lot of these are phones and as if you don't seem to hit on us what's in thousand formula. very often the software in the past but as it only it's made in. noise for logs distinguished even from microsoft office does what it believes we have no concern for lughnasadh

convert or you deserve that we don't hender beat our minds fleeing orders for an explosion that aren't even more funny a minute but aren't as kind take a show called just put it tick on for hundreds musser. that's a. pretty to shove under the part of the show backslidden and or you could just put . it gets a dozen fits and ups that was acquitted so you wouldn't be. getting this leno's. microsoft sitting next to the mobile go by as it would have does but you know. you shouldn't buy companies microsoft and god sent. me so far from sunni and didn't need to monotonously you know it's not going to be here and you know this. you know the incident in book focuses.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see them. it is hard to. milton's i would say i'm not american but americans helped out really. world war two cures through a depression for much so she's concerned prosperity for through sure. it wasn't for us the whole world what it what and. historical really ever since

world war two to foment the cold war against russia against communism and. socialists mishmosh. it was so you call me out you all close to swath we were so used to call girl. boy world war two has been distorted credibly anglo american media and that's because they want to diminish the role russia. and stalin who actually defeated hitler. some time in history during a crisis like in two thousand and eight where the creditors bailed out of the state of the debtors and going back even to build times is the debtors they get bailed out not the creditors but because of the fascism the neo fascism that listed leni like neil fascism between the bankers on wall street and the federal government

cheese together a corporate product daisy chain of incest and by all financial shenanigans the creditors were bailed out and the what are they do with all the money they inflated the bubble even higher so now i've got s. and p. had a new all time highs but the more ality and the ethics of the country and the wealth and income gap have nosedive. united states had a. new. tax on other countries. economic sanctions are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country

because. we have a responsibility for the head. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there would be. the iran nuclear deal was one seen as a major achievement of american diplomacy but that's no longer the case donald trump's decision to pull out of the deal has reopened a major international problem and left allies betrayed and adverse to his confused how should the world proceed. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution in fiji the demonstration going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution

is always spontaneous or is it just no war here i mean your list put video through me in the new bill is that i new school in need of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took part in this state over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other calls that will ensure. secure and prosperous and democratic.
