I thought the group would find it interesting that the Utah State Department
of Technology has recently (beginning August 1st, 2009) implemented a policy
stating that all new computers ordered will have OpenOffice installed as the
office productivity software instead of Microsoft Office. Any new computer
violating this rule requires written justification as to why and approval by
the CIO. There are rumors that this policy will eventually apply to the
entire Utah State Government. I feel the tide turning in favor of
OpenOffice. Congratulations!
