As read in the PCM I got today:

- The american department of Defense replaced MS-Office with 25,000 copies of
StarOffice 5.2 (but we already knew that). Reasons: low price, high
reliability, stability and performance.
- A number of governmental offices have inquired with Linux distributors to
investigate how Linux can be implemented as an OS for them.
- The German dept. of finance considers moveing to StarOffice and Sun's
Webtop-system to replace MS-Office.
- A french scientific organisation (unknown which one) is also considering a
similar step.

These steps are good for Sun, that is active in Open Source, and promotes
Webtop as a much cheaper alternative than MS's .Net options.
