Sun Microsystems is slowly whittling away at Microsoft's dominance on the desktop.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based network computer maker has inked a government contract with a the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) to replace Windows systems with Sun desktop products.
The partnership with the state's Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) includes the city of Sydney and is among the largest open standards-based software rollouts in the area, Sun said. Financial details were not disclosed.
Initially, Sun will install its StarOffice software in 1,500 desktops in 120 offices. The goal is to connect up to 3,000 users to the new system. Sun said its future plans include stocking the RTA's back-end infrastructure with its other software products including the Sun Java System Portal Server, Sun Java System Access Manager, Sun Java System Identity Manager and Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition software.
