Danish Study Recommends Open Standards for EU
PDAJames writes "The Danish government has wrapped up a two-year study of open source's potential for the public sector, and has some pretty interesting things to say. For one, it says that tie-ins to proprietary software effectively eliminate competition for government procurement and are inherently bad. For another, it recommends a public sector-led effort to adopt an XML-based standard document format, either that of OpenOffice or a new one developed by the EU. Will they push ahead with these plans or is it just more talk?"
Why don't the KDE developer stop working on KOffice support OpenOffice instead?
He is busy convincing the GNOME developer to just give up and support KDE.
