Wow, this is a major move! It's great to see these articles, for each large migration eases the task for the next group that wants to follow suit. I wonder when the public at large will take notice? And when will OEMs ship OpenOffice.org on their machines by default? (I know many small ones do already.) Those will be the signs that the tipping point has arrived! It might be closer than we think.

Also, I hope that the police contribute something back to the project. The publicity by itself is very valuable, but financial and code contributions would be great too.
