The news have been spread yesterday by AFP about French gendarmerie which is now supporting Firefox and Open Source and abandoning Microsoft Internet explorer forever. According to the news 70,000 desktops are going to be converted :
The gendarmerie’s 70,000 desktops were being converted to Firefox and its email client Thunderbird because of the navigator’s “reliability, security and inter-operability with other state services,” said General Christian Brachet, IT director of the police force.
The move should be complete by the end of the year, he said, as enthusiasts of open sourcing wrapped up an annual meeting in Paris at the Solution Linux 2006 exhibition.
