- sounds 14y agoPersonally, I like the contrast: Freiburg will get to experience Windows 8 and update us on that, while Munich will update us on how much money they saved. That's what this article is about: how much money they saved.
- zdw 14y agoNote that they were using OpenOffice, not a more modern fork, and that they were running it in parallel with MS Office 2000, so using some form of Windows. They're in for a rude UI awakening when jumping to MS Office 2007 or later...
- dutchbrit 14y agoLibreOffice all the way :)
- Tsiolkovsky 14y agoYeah, that's a sad example of what vendor lock-in closed file formats cause and what bad migration planing does. I guess IT people in Freiburg could learn a lot from their fwllows in Munich.
