Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols has published an interesting article, *French police move from Windows to Ubuntu Linux* ( http://www.zdnet.com/french-police-move-from-windows-to-ubuntu-linux-7000021479/ ), over at ZDNet. It deals explicitly with a migration from Windows XP to a «customized version of Ubuntu Linux», but if, as I presume, LO is included as the standard office suite, ...

Perhaps not.

The Gendarmerie began its transition to open source software in 2005 when it replaced Microsoft Office with OpenOffice.org across the entire organization. It gradually adopted other open source software applications, including Firefox and Thunderbird. After the launch of Windows Vista in 2006, it decided to phase out Windows and incrementally migrate to Ubuntu.
