Hi :) I get the impression that all 5 areas use Gnu&Linux (and therefore probably LibreOffice) already in some areas.
So i suspect this is not so much a switch away from MS Windows and MS Office but more a consolidation onto LibreOffice. So, not a trial period or bunch of noobs with no experience but a follow-through due to LibreOffice having proven itself better through being used in those places. It's not people flailing around desperately seeking a new answer that may fall for FUD and switch again and again. it's a strong move in a determined direction after long testing and long-term experience. It's a solid move. I think that makes a stronger case for celebration Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Fabian Rodriguez <[email protected]> >To: Kracked_P_P---webmaster <[email protected]> >Cc: [email protected] >Sent: Thursday, 2 May 2013, 15:03 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Spain's Extremadura starts switch of 40, >000 government PCs to open source > > >On 2013-05-02 09:25, Kracked_P_P---webmaster wrote: >> Fabián, you are saying that these 40,000 PCs would use Linux and >> LibreOffice, instead of Windows and MS Office? > >According to the article, yes.
