We're winning... (?)

As funny as these stories are for reading, any hard data is absolutely lacking. Are there similar stories which actually cite sources? OTOH the fact that even cheap main stream devices like USB sticks and WLAN routers routinely have “compatible with Linux”, often even giving a kernel version, printed on the package tells me that the stories are not that far off. Even so, I'd be curious who these Icelandic Microsoft Certified Partners switching to Linux / Free Software are (first link, the quote below also originates there).

Microsoft Access, the only database software on the planet that’s better at printing mail-merged stickers than it is at storing data.

The French gendarmerie is switching to open source as well, according to a recent article on arstechnica.com and IE8 is expected to be standard compliant. Although, I do not think there is anything to "win", open (source, standards, etc.) is becoming relevant.
