The state government official who had been moving Massachusetts away from Microsoft's digital document formats has resigned. Peter Quinn, Chief Information Officer for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will quit his position, effective Jan. 9, according to an internal memo obtained by the IDG News Service.
Quinn had been behind a drive to change state computers so that they would no longer store documents in proprietary formats such as those used by Microsoft Office and Lotus Notes.
