One NGO that was posting to the PLUG (Pune) had tried to use the RTI Act to try and get information from some Maharashtra State Govt. depts, IIRC including the education dept., about use of OpenOffice and Microsoft Office. Didn't succeed by any measure.
If you remember, two years back, Bill G. through his foundation had donated some hardware etc. to the State Edu. Dept. for public primary schools. I have been saying it since then that it has 2 purposes: early lock in and shaming the govt. to buying MSware.
