Well, several administrations in Spain already are using LibreOffice, which is a pretty good alternative to the MS Office, it is even compatible with way more document formats than the MS Office. That means, that don't exist an real dependency because tecnical reasons, but maybe because burocratic ones. Using alternatives of Windows is more complicated, but there isn't any problems with general apps for Windows, except for some specific corporation ones, Windows catalogue of software is the biggest one of any other OS.
