| has decided to uninstall Microsoft Office applications from its entire
| workspace and replace them with the free OpenOffice.
|

| From September 1, every Election Commission office will have a PC loaded
| only with OpenOffice and Mozilla or Opera, the open source Internet
| browsers.

| "In the long run, we feel we should have a non-proprietary
| environment wherever possible," Sen said. So Windows may also go away
| and be replaced with an open source OS like Linux.
