Israel slams the door on Microsoft!

"In a bold assertion of independence, Israel has thrown the full weight 
of its antitrust legislation at Microsoft. 
 
The Israeli Ministry of Commerce has suspended all governmental 
contracts with Microsoft, and indicated that the ban will last 
throughout 2004. The de facto suspension means no upgrades for the 
duration, at a time when Microsoft is looking to roll out its Office 
2003 upgrade; and the Ministry is said to be examining OpenOffice as an 
alternative."
