Hot off the OpenOffice.org marketing mailing list, I’ve received three links talking about Finland’s Ministry of Justice and its choice to adopt OpenOffice.org:

1. http://www.itviikko.fi/page.php?page_id=15&news_id=200622704

Hopefully some English translations will come up soon, my Finnish is rusty. (At least I can understand the numerals used, and it appears that 8,500 computers will move to OOo on Windows, while 1,500 will remain on MS Office.)

85% OpenOffice to 15% Microsoft Office; that sounds like a desirable distribution of global marketshare in the future. (Though I’d like to see some third-party successes too, like Abiword, KOffice, Corel and TextMaker…)
