誰知道現在使用OOo的政府機關和公司有哪些?
Well, I don't know about places in Taiwan, but a few cities in Germany are currently switching to Linux, so they also switch to OpenOffice. The largest such city is Munich.
Just this week I read that the US state of Massachusetts will switch to OpenOffice in 2007. The important thing here is not OOo, but the document format and the reason for the switch:
They are going to use OpenDocument for office applications and PDF for document storage. The reason for doing so is the obligation to allow everyone to read all documents published by the government, now and in the future without forcing people to use a certain company's proprietary software.
This may be a useful argument here in Taiwan too, after all the government is working with people's tax money, so they should allow everyone to read government documents.
If they are still reluctant, think about this: You can go to the Palace Museum in Taibei and see and read documents a few hundred years old. How many current government documents stored as .DOC will still be readable in 15 years???
