Switzerland: ODF considered for government use
I just read this article and the PDF document on this page. The Swiss organization eCH created a draft proposal that recommends ODF for government use.
Considering that Belgium, the state Extremadura in Spain, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the US have already selected ODF as a standard for governent use, and looking at all the similar efforts in France, Malaysia, India, Brazil and elsewhere, I'm pretty sure that Microsoft will fight against the eCH proposal fiercly as well.
Nevertheless, it's good to see yet another country is seriously considering the adoption of ODF. I'm sure more countries will follow these examples.
