We're talking about the Navy here. The ones involved in the NMCI
debacle, whereby Microsoft sells thousands of high-priced licenses,
while EDS takes it in the shorts to the tune of billions trying to
install and manage this stuff, and the users have to put up with the
whole mess.
No way they'll switch from MS Office anytime soon. No way.
