Original: Dutch tax authorities cancel Microsoft 365 cloud rollout - and turn toward open source - ZDNET https:// lemmy.world/post

The Dutch tax authorities have cancelled their Microsoft 365 cloud migration and are instead turning to open source software. The move, reported by ZDNET, marks a significant reversal for a major government body and is being discussed as a notable win for open source advocates and a possible signal for other European public institutions reassessing dependence on US tech vendors.

Why now: The story is being shared as an example of growing European pushback against dependence on Microsoft and US cloud providers in government IT.
