Singapore's Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) has large-scale plans for deploying OpenOffice.org on Windows PCs, a MINDEF spokeswoman told ZDNet UK on Tuesday. "MINDEF has already installed the OpenOffice productivity suite on 5,000 desktop computers," said the spokeswoman. "We hope to deploy OpenOffice on 20,000 desktop computers by the end of March 2006." MINDEF's deployment to OpenOffice.org is believed to be one of the biggest by any government agency. The spokewoman said the ministry is not migrating to OpenOffice.org -- instead OpenOffice.org will coexist with Microsoft Office 97 on PCs running Windows XP. The decision was made to increase user choice and save costs, according to the spokeswoman. "This is part of our plan to create more choices in productivity suites for our users," she said.

She said the ministry may switch from Windows XP to Linux in the future, although there are no concrete plans at present. (read more ...) |
