| program, a spreadsheet application and a
| layout program to create most documents.

Office 2010 is in the stores. Yawn.

| Am I the only who finds Forrester analyst
| JP Gowdner's blog proclamation that
| "Office 2010, Microsoft's latest release,
| will continue to succeed with consumers"
| and "In terms of usage and penetration,
| Google Docs remains a failure" on the eve
| of Office 2010's arrival to retails stores
| be a little ... suspicious? Could it have
| anything to do with Microsoft having just
| launched n $80 million Office 2010 ad
| campaign?

DK: Ministry leaves out open source savings in report on Police budget
,----[ Quote ]
| In a report requested by the parliament on
| the Police budget, the Danish ministry of
| Finance has left out recommendations by
| its consultants to switch to open source,
| which would result in savings of a 100
| million kroner (about 13 million Euro),
| Danish newspapers report.
|
| The omission was found by the Danish
| Association for Open Source Service
| suppliers (OSL), which compared the report
| sent to parliament with the original
| report by McKinsey, a consultancy. They
| recommend switching from the proprietary
| office system and relational database
| management system to open source
| alternatives OpenOffice and MySQL.
