Peter HanecakZo zavislosti od MS sa podobne ako Holandsko¹ snazi zbavit od cca 2012 aj Slovensko, vid napr.:

Ale je rok 2026 a nadalej sa kupuje "vela" a najma "takmer vylucne" Microsoft, tot ked sa bavime o kupovani pocitacov statom pre uradnikov, ucitelov, ziakov, atd.
A uradnici sa tvaria dost prekvapene a nechapavo, ak sa pytam, ze preco prave Windows+Office resp. ci posudzovali alternativy.
Nová trojročná zmluva na Microsoft bude posvätená ÚHP
Toto je zo strany MF a ÚPVII riadne pokrytectvo. Zjavne sa ráta s tým, že už si nič z minulosti o tomto nepamätáme. ÚHP si v rámci umenia možného zapísalo do tabuľky “25% ušetrené” a ide sa ďalej. Takže len tak zľahka na pripomenutie, aká bola situácia pri schvaľovaní predĺženia zmluvy MS EA už v roku 2012: “nasadenie pilotného projektu Open source” je v materiáli ako záväzná úloha dokument, o ktorom rokovala vláda, obsahuje vetu “Spoločnosť Microsoft Slovakia, s. r. o. deklaruje, že cena ...
1/2 "The open source strategy by the commission as laid out today in the technology sovereignty package says some good things, but ultimately misses the mark by aiming low. It lacks any real, hard targets and changes to procurement which could mobilize part of the 264 billion the EU currently spends every year on foreign big tech."

The Tech Sovereignty Package encourages and disappoints
The open source strategy by the commission as laid out today in the technology sovereignty package says some good things, but ultimately misses the mark by aiming low. It lacks any real, hard targets and changes to procurement which could mobilize part of the 264 billion the EU currently spends every year on foreign big tech. Quoting from press conference: Good news: Europe has all it takes. Unfortunately, while that is true, it seems Europe is not yet ready to truly mobilize its resources.

#TechSovereignty package -- motivated in no small part by Trump's weaponization of #Europe's dependence on American firms -- takes a longer-term view: boost the continent's players so they can eventually challenge their U.S. rivals.
As part of its proposal to keep a list of trustworthy countries, Commission would require EU governments to run a so-called "sovereignty risk assessment" for every digital service they rely on.

US Cloud Act collides with EU tech sovereignty push
Jos PoortvlietOn a different note - I ranted about the Tech Sovereignty package yesterday. Well, it motivated me to dust off my personal blog (last post: 2020!) and migrate away from Blogspot. And write a 1700 word analysis of the commission's proposal. Enjoy...

Nicola FabianoOn 3 June 2026, the Commission published COM(2026) 503 on tech sovereignty, with the EU Open Source Strategy.
My analysis: soft law, Chips Act 2.0, CADA, cloud/AI sovereignty levels, open source, data localization, and GDPR transfers.
Key point: Technological sovereignty is not just data localization. It is also about control, governance, ownership, supply-chain transparency, and third-country interference.
