Scottish Police Revert to Microsoft Office

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the back-on-the-crack dept.

LordGuha writes "The Central Scotland Policy is removing StarOffice and replacing it with Microsoft Office citing lower maintenance and running costs and greater integration with other departments. According to the article StarOffice was implemented in 2000 when the department was low in cash but lately have estimated that the Microsoft software would cost no more and lead to greater efficiencies."

    The fourth word of the story submission is a rather obvious typo. Would it kill the editors to actually edit the submissions to correct errors like this one?

    I mean, they wouldn't even had to RTFA to spot this particular typo: just glancing at the story's title would have been enough to spot do that.

    Seriously, when is Slashdot going to pull its editorial socks up and start doing the basic stuff that even amateur teenage bloggers can manage to get right?
