Vienna has achieved many firsts in its entire history and just recently, it made another first in the area of information technology.
The Austrian capital has become the first city to be granted its own personal domain name. For this reason, business and organizations in Vienna or those associated with Vienna can now register their websites with the extension .wien instead of the usual .com, .net or .at (which refers to Austria).
When it comes to the fastfood chain war worldwide, there's no doubt that McDonald's is a big winner. In Austria, the company is as popular as it is anywhere in the world.
In 2013 alone, McDonald's earned 560 million Euros in sales. The high earnings were attributed to the expansion of the fastfood chain and introduction of new products.
In the Austrian capital of Vienna as well as in near Graz and Salzburg, a total of five new restaurants were opened last year. That alone led to a 2.2 percent increase in the company's sales.
