In Denmark one of the major banks are installing StarOffice instead of MS Office on 6000 workstations. (Pretty much everywhere in the organization I believe). Still on windows though, but it's a great start. We have also recently had a major debat about if the goverment should actively encourage it's "deparments" to use open source software instead of Microsoft products.

We live in interesting times. :) - ask -- ask bjoern hansen - <http://www.netcetera.dk/~ask/>; more than 70M impressions per day, <http://valueclick.com>; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
