ZDNet reports:
The latest in what is becoming an impressively long list of Italian cities to make the transition is the City of Udine, a town of 100,000 people in the north east of Italy. The municipality recently announced that by the end of 2014 it will start a process which, over the coming years, will make OpenOffice the default personal productivity suite on each of its 900 computers.
The move, the city says, will allow it to save roughly €400 on the cost of software licensing for each machine, a total of €360,000. The migration will start with 80 new computers that, according to the 2014 budget document, have to be bought by December.

Better hope the life-inspector doesn't come around while you have your
life in such a mess.

Steve Ballmer was always ready to hop on the corporate jet for a round of negotiations, especially to a town in Italy in the fall, but the new guy might be different.

A change in command structure there maybe highly related to the changes. Perhaps the suborno has stopped flowing?
Not to mention they don't want any back doors into their records, regardless of the set.
