The reasoning behind that move is cost. OpenSource costs too much, they say. That’s a bit odd, considering the very same office reported about huge money-savings, due to the use of OpenSource software. The foreign office states using OpenSource saved them 33 million euros during 2001-2007.
I wonder what in OpenSource got so expensive in the last three years, that all of a sudden solutions from Redmond seem to be such a compelling alternative. The civil servants were probably fed up with not being able to find and play Solitaire ;)
