May take a little while, but at least this can show other people HOW TO DO IT, these guys sees the importance of open standards much more important than saving some bucks in the future on the software itself, because rigt off the bat, they need to rewrite 145 applications for them to run on Linux.

Actually the central German government is very positive about open source in contrast to the UK government which is stubborn like a donkey, maybe those guys needs to "make a movie with a donkey" that would teach 'em a leasson :P
Just kidding about that last one ;)

In all seriousness we are pushing the INGOTs and already got 50 education centers teaching INGOTs certification which is oriented to push the use of OpenOffice.org as opposed to MSO.
