20,000 OpenOffice.org seats in Vietnam
Here is another OpenOffice.org success story:
"More than 20,000 computers used at Party agencies nationwide will replace Microsoft Office software with OpenOffice open source office software.
... Cost savings is only one of the reasons for this change. The major target of the replacement is to improve the ability of the Vietnamese IT circle because the use of open source products like OpenOffice will create a new market for Vietnamese IT companies, according to Mr. Loi."
The full article can be found here. Seeing all the OpenOffice.org and ODF success stories coming in and having read this Forrester report yesterday, I guess the current market leader is getting under more and more pressure. When we talk about 90% market share today, we only talk about 1 Billion PC's, ignoring the majority of the world's population that does not have a computer, yet. I'm sure interesting times are coming up!
