BB completes XP migration to open source

(BNamericas.com Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)Federally owned Banco do Brasil 
has completed the migration of all its Windows XP computers to the 
OpenOffice.org open source suite, reported local tech service Computerworld.

The migration involved 35,000 PCs, and Banco do Brasil now aims to migrate 
another 30,000 computers that use the OS/2 operating system. These should 
all migrate to the OpenOffice.org system by year-end..."

I assume that means they are going to be running OpenOffice.Org on the OS/2 
machines since it also appears from the article that they only migrated the 
office suite and not the platforms.  Also just interesting to see that at 
least someone still has a large OS/2 installation.
