The state of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany has renewed their de-Microsoft efforts by announcing that they will be switching the state administration's approximately 30,000 employee's PCs to open-source solutions and moving towards “digitally sovereign IT workplaces”.

Given how far LibreOffice has come.... they might manage it this time.

M$ Office is still superior but not so much as it used to be.

They tried that years ago(with open office), but went back to M$ Office.

Glad to see Libreoffice can compete with M$ Office.
