maybe some government cash would be saved if ODF was mandated? And maybe that could mean lower property taxes and/or subsidies to home owners?

I agree with you on the stealth-move, although it was interesting to see how quick the lobbyists were onto it. However you might want to take a look at <a href="http://www.ebudget.state.fl.us/" title="state.fl.us">http://www.ebudget.state.fl.us/</a state.fl.us> and search for "Information Technology". License costs are in the tens/hundreds of millions of dollars. And they are coming right out of your pocket...
