Mass. plan to dump MS Office for OpenDocument a 'matter of control' | |
|
||
| Time: 13:40 EST/18:40 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Andre Da Costa | ||
|
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts' plan to standardize desktop applications on OpenDocument, an open standard not supported by Microsoft Office, essentially comes down to a matter of control, according Stephen O'Grady, software expert and principal analyst with Denver-based consultancy RedMonk. O'Grady has been following the story closely and explains that as a sovereign entity, Massachusetts feels the need to be in complete control of its desktop technology, rather than relying on a single company -- Microsoft -- for its office productivity needs. SearchOpenSource.com recently spoke with O'Grady to get a fresh perspective on Massachusetts' controversial move and to get his opinion on what the decision means for open source software adoption rates worldwide. | ||
