> The Foreign Office launched a modernisation process in 2010, one 
> component of which was the pursuit of a new IT strategy moving away 
> from open source software and towards "standardised proprietary client 
> solutions" as used in other ministries. Specifically, this means a 
> return to Windows XP, to be upgraded at some point to Windows 7, 
> *Office 2010* and Outlook. According to the government, this will not 
> give rise to any immediate costs, indeed, they expect introduction of 
> these "standardised software products" to produce "efficiency gains".
