Daily market recaps with key events, stock movements, and global influences
Denmark is initiating a strategic shift away from reliance on American technology giants by phasing out Microsoft Office and Windows in favor of open-source alternatives LibreOffice and Linux. This move aligns with a broader European trend toward digital sovereignty and reducing dependence on U.S.-based software providers. A Danish government ministry is leading this transition, following Germany's similar decision last year to uninstall Microsoft products such as Teams. The Document Foundation, developer of LibreOffice, has highlighted the costs associated with Windows 11, encouraging users to adopt Linux. The shift reflects growing concerns about software performance and control, as well as a desire for greater autonomy in digital infrastructure within European countries.
