Specsavers (major UK-based optician chain, present in Australia as a
supplier) are missing from that list too, although they have become
public about their change since they also went Linux.

And of course, there's always Oxford Archaeology (~300 employees,
primarily UK and France), who will be completing their transition to
Open Document Format by the end of the month using a mix of
OpenOffice, StarOffice (for thin client optimisation), KOffice 2
(planned for Linux users) and (assuming good pricing, compatibility
with the E90 and Nokia ever actually deliver the E90s) Mobile
Office...

PS The latter assumes the CIO stops messing with the new ODF templates
and actually puts them out for final evaluation...
