Subject: [libreoffice-users] There goes Open-Source in the White House
The new chief information officer for the federal government - White
House Chief of Information Technology - is a former Microsoft Executive
[and assistant to Bill Gates].
Since all these big wigs in Microsoft get large blocks of stock in the
company, which he most likely still has, this new guy in the White House
as a good reason to keep the government using MS products over free and
open source ones.
So I say; there goes the government's push to go open source and start
using packages like LibreOffice.
Well, MS tries to control the world's computers, and now they have a man
in the White House to control the government's computer system and other
technology to MS's favor.
