Denmark's Agency for Digital Government has quietly abandoned a heavily promoted pilot project to replace Microsoft Office with open-source alternatives. The plan, which had been presented as a step toward digital sovereignty and reduced dependence on Microsoft, was dropped without public announcement, according to Danish tech outlet Computerworld. The silent retreat is drawing criticism and renewed debate about the feasibility of open-source software in the public sector.

Why now: The unannounced reversal of a flagship open-source initiative raises questions about public-sector dependence on Microsoft and transparency in government digital policy.
