Danish Government 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 much-publicised trial of open-source alternatives to Microsoft Office. The pilot, meant to test whether ministries could move away from Microsoft's suite, ended without any public announcement or explanation. Critics say the silent retreat undermines transparency around public IT procurement and raises questions about the government's commitment to open standards and digital sovereignty.

Why now: The government dropped a high-profile open-source software trial without telling the public, prompting debate over transparency and vendor lock-in.
