Perhaps when it comes to governments, money still talks. but then only to obtain money from citizens, not for spending money for products that costs too much when there are alternatives.
So to make this short and clear, yes the belgian government is, for years already, investing in good and decent open-source products instead in spending large amounts of money in commercial products that also contains bugs or operating systems which you need to (largely) slow down with anti-virus programs, spamkillers, antispyware, etc.
And why the heck should MS consider ODF when there is openoffice.org, which by version 2 already saves file in ODF :). they only can make buggy shit out of it and everyone should pay billy boy money for something that is already free.
