They're moving back from Linux to Windows+Office! What's happening there? http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/No-more-desktop-Linux-systems-in-the-German-Foreign-Office-1191122.html The Foreign Office launched a modernisation process in 2010, one component of which was the pursuit of a new IT strategy moving away from open source software and towards standardised proprietary client solutions as used in other ministries. Specifically, this means a return to Windows XP, to be upgraded at some point to Windows 7, *Office 2010* and Outlook. According to the government, this will not give rise to any immediate costs, indeed, they expect introduction of these standardised software products to produce efficiency gains. -- _/|\_ /Samphan Raruenrom./ Osdev - Open Source Development Co., Ltd. / ??./ ? - ?? ?? ? tel: +66 2 269 9889 web: osdev.co.th http://www.osdev.co.th/ twitter: @osdev http://twitter.com/osdev facebook: facebook.com/osdev http://www.facebook.com/osdev -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
