Interesting. I should have checked my link before I sent it. The
newspaper article from 2004-11-19 at the Hufvudstadsbladet seems to have
disappeared. A search in Google for article's title, "Sdp-politiker risar
valet av Jungner" bring up in cache completely different content.
We have known since the late 90's that MS has been unable to compete on
technical merit and seen as a result the emphasis on marketing and the
attempt to prevent anyone else from doing so either. Since then the
effort has moved through lobbying on to direct involvment in politics,
such as we see in recent riders attached to Massachusetts legislation.
OOo does have the advantage if decisions can be steered back to technical
rather than ideological factors. OOo also has an advantage if selection
processes can be kept moving forward and not allowed to decend into
bickering and delay from which MS benefits.
MSO 2003 in particular has a lot of potential problems that should,
according to privacy law, eliminate it from consideration for public
agencies. Nor have the problems or even capability of the DRM which is
part of MSO 2003 been enumerated.

Marko,
thanks for this account. I'll forward it to

Your story is highly interesting, it's made of both victories and
successes. But in short, it seems, as Lars pointed out, to be a problem
of lobbying and communication.
How could this be overcome in Finland? What can the OOo finnish-speaking
community do about this?
Best,
Charles.
