Even though interest in open source software is high in Germany's public sector, Microsoft continues to grab contracts with local authorities. This month the U.S. software giant began installing its new Office 2003 software in 110,000 PCs in North Rhine Westphalia (NRW), Germany's largest and most populated state, Microsoft said in a statement Wednesday.
The decision to install the new Office product makes NRW the only German state operating every computer with uniform software, said Fritz Behrens, state interior minister, in the statement.
