Denmark's bid to ditch Office for open-source collapses in under six months

I posted on another thread.

> A pilot phase with 38 ministry employees kicked off last year to trial Collabora's suite with Office documents. However, this trial was terminated when elections took place earlier this year. A spokesperson confirmed that the experiment had concluded, and would not resume again. They also confirmed that no evaluation benchmarking Collabora's performance against Microsoft Office had taken place either.

Okay.

PS the main gripe was ODF vs. OOXML

Gripe defeats evaluation.

"employees complaining about issues with style, paragraph formatting, blank pages, and challenges with tracking changes."

They should use LaTeX and git instead.
