Tories want open source Whitehall (BBC News)
BBC News
reports
on an effort to use more open-source software in the UK government.
"The government could save more than £600 million a year if it used more open source software, the shadow chancellor has estimated.
George Osborne said the savings would cut 5% off Whitehall's annual IT bill.
He called for a more "level playing field" for all software companies, and urged "cultural change" in government."
