Funny how one of our ministries saying they were doing a small test run of replacing Office 365 turned into a thousand terrible blog posts with misleading titles like "Denmark is ditching Microsoft!"

In Danish we have a saying from H. C. Anderson "En fjer kan blive til fem høns" (literally "One feather can become 5 chickens") about how a retelling of a retelling of a retelling of something skews it so much, because of mistakes or hyperbole, that it becomes unrecognizable. Like Chinese whispers or a game of Telephone.

Let them know about Onlyoffixe too!!

Well, depends of what they need, OnlyOffice has a somewhat better compatibility with some MS Office files, but less apps than Libre/OpenOffice. Anyway there are not so much differences between this three suites, all pretty valid FOSS alternatives to MS Office.

Reposts are better than no posts. Plus, plenty of people could have missed the original.

The reposts are part of a conspiracy to distract you from the real news which is that the Danish Ministry of Digitalization is switching to LibreOffice
