RED HERRING | TechSpin: Linux for Norway: "Add Norway to the list of countries that Jean-Phillipe Courtois, the recently appointed president of Microsoft International, has to visit. On Monday, the Norwegian minister of modernization, Morten Andreas Meyer, told attendees to an Oslo press conference “proprietary formats will no longer be acceptable in communication between citizens and government.” According to the web publication Slashdot, he did not mention Microsoft by name. Instead he referred to “the spreadsheet that everyone uses,” or the fact that he would no longer broadcast anything on the web using Windows Media. Mr. Meyer challenged Microsoft to “open up or become irrelevant to the Norwegian government.” "
My opinion: This plan is at least one year too late. Now it just express what everybody agree about and everybody want to do.
