Funny how one of our ministries saying they were doing a small test run of replacing Office 365 turned into a thousand terrible blog posts with misleading titles like "Denmark is ditching Microsoft!"

In Danish we have a saying from H. C. Anderson "En fjer kan blive til fem høns" (literally "One feather can become 5 chickens") about how a retelling of a retelling of a retelling of something skews it so much, because of mistakes or hyperbole, that it becomes unrecognizable. Like Chinese whispers or a game of Telephone.
