For the freedom it would be better to break from the Google for example. However I really cheer them for it, it will fail, because Linux and open office are not replacements for normal office work.

> you don't break from colonialism with local efforts.

Could you elaborate? I genuinely have no idea what this comment means in the context of Denmark trying to switch software providers or platforms.
