OpenOffice.org on 245,000 desktop computers?
Quite interesting read:
"The potential contract, which would run for five years and be worth 147m Euro, has been questioned by several Dutch MPs who say it contravenes the Dutch government's policy on open-source software.
...
Since the initial protest from MPs, a number of organisations including the Dutch Linux Users Group and OpenOffice.org have sent a signed letter to the Dutch prime minister and finance minister stating that the Microsoft contract will have a negative impact on the software market in the Netherlands. Web site Slashdot has published an English translation of this letter."
