Windows, Office and Azure all being replaced. Aarhus announced they already reduced their dependence and their bill went from 800k dkk/year last year to 225k this year.

There are so many examples of petty, corporate corruption out there, this is not one, maybe if you stretch the definition to include people making decisions that also benefit them...they also set their own salaries, for example, I guess that is corruption too...so now you need a new word to call out actual petty and corporate corruption.
