Vienna's open source desktop migration takes off

      

Thousands of city employees have started using OpenOffice.org and hundreds are running Linux, less than two months after the 'soft' migration started.

...Users at the city administration have been offered the option of switching from Microsoft Office 2000 to the open source productivity application OpenOffice.org, and from Microsoft Windows 2000 to Linux. Departments are being offered an annual discount of €62 (£42) per desktop if they migrate to OpenOffice.org on Windows and an additional discount of €31 per desktop if they also migrate to Linux.

Gillich told ZDNet UK that his team has already installed OpenOffice.org on 2,500 desktops since it started offering the product to users in September.
