Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Spain's Extremadura starts switch of 40, 000 government PCs to open source

Hi :)
I get the impression that all 5 areas use Gnu&Linux (and therefore probably LibreOffice) already in 
some areas.  


So i suspect this is not so much a switch away from MS Windows and MS Office but more a 
consolidation onto LibreOffice.  So, not a trial period or bunch of noobs with no experience but a 
follow-through due to LibreOffice having  proven itself better through being used in those places.  
It's not people flailing around desperately seeking a new answer that may fall for FUD and switch 
again and again.  it's a strong move in a determined direction after long testing and long-term 
experience.  It's a solid move.  


I think that makes a stronger case for celebration

Regards from  

Tom :)
