Denmark quietly abandons plan to replace Microsoft Office

Original: Danish Government silently drops plan to dump MS Office

Denmark's Agency for Digital Government has quietly shelved a high-profile attempt to move away from Microsoft Office to an open-source alternative, Danish IT outlet Computerworld reports. The pilot project, once billed as a step toward digital sovereignty, was dropped without public announcement, drawing criticism from open-source advocates and renewed debate about public-sector reliance on Microsoft.

Why now: The quiet reversal of a flagship open-source initiative has reignited debate about vendor lock-in and digital sovereignty in European government IT.
