The NSW Department of Education did not renegotiate a new three years contract with Microsoft. Instead it extended its licensing agreement with Redmond for just one year. Additionally Stephen Wilson announced they would switch to OpenOffice on 41,000 school computers.

Often these OpenOffice switch threads are just used to get better procurement conditions from Microsoft. Then the news demonstrates the value of choice between applications and the benefits of overcoming lock-in effects for the larger market, even when finally the company dissuade the public sector to switch to OpenOffice.
