A bit misleading title. Half of the relatively small digitization ministry will be testing it during the summer, to evaluate if its an option. If it goes well, the rest will follow. If not, they will switch back to Microsoft

    Also, originally the media made it sound like they switched to Linux as well

    Some articles even mention the whole country switching to it so there are some very optimistic headlines being fired at optimistic readers at the moment.

    That said, Denmark pays huges amount to Microsoft for very little. I work in a nursing home where they use Microsoft Teams only as a file hosting system for word documents. Its a huge mess of people making files, to describe anything and then they tell you that you can find instructions in MS teams..

    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.

    Well, depends of what they need, OnlyOffice has a somewhat better compatibility with some MS Office files, but less apps than Libre/OpenOffice. Anyway there are not so much differences between this three suites, all pretty valid FOSS alternatives to MS Office.

    Very good. More European countries should follow this move! We need to become more independent from American interests.

    Let the US remain dependent on us, but us not on them.
