Inland Revenue considers ditching Microsoft
Posted by admin on Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 06:45 PM
Sun Microsystems admin writes "The Revenue has held high-level talks with Sun Microsystems about plans for its 70,000 desktops.

Senior US-based Sun executives visited the UK to discuss the issues involved in migrating Windows and Office users to Linux and Sun's StarOffice software.

Many of the Revenue's PCs run NT4 Workstation software, which Microsoft will cease to support from June next year.

Many large Microsoft users are investigating an alternative to Windows, following the software giant's controversial changes to its licensing policy, which came into effect on 1 August. The full story is here."
