“In Denmark in an open letter to the mayor, city council and the
IT manager in Lyngby-Taarbaek Municipality, the Virum School
student council is now targeting sharp criticism against the
decision to replace Microsoft Office with OpenOffice. There are
major problems with programs and students lack training in how to
use them, says the criticism.“Already last year there were debate around the municipality’s
decision to opt for OpenOffice rather than Microsoft’s office
suite.“Microsoft’s technology director Jasper Hedegaard Bojsen then
sent an open letter to the municipal mayor, which he denied that
that OpenOffice should be an equal and cheaper alternative to
Office. It led to accusations that Microsoft tried to implement a
scare campaign.”
