The OS FUD war

So, in private industry, outside the buyable CIOs, and there are not to many of those, in the first rank, wordwide the benefits and risks of FOSS are now well understood, even though Meverou Nelie Kroes will shortly retire, the Regulators, bidable though they tend to be now, at least, understand the basic point.

Put another way, the genie is out of the bottle. no one now gets fired for buying Linux, but vide LSE, they DO get fired for buying M$+Accenture, if it fails, as it always does. See the latest US-DOD advice. That is enough to STFU the PHB brigade.

So the entire issue turns on good information and freedom of choice.

FOSS is well past the tipping point, and the brighter non-nerds begin to understand why:

Voting has to be OS

Med Records need to follow Vets System

A secure desktop saves a shitload of money

Migration to non local platforms, Browser/FireFox/Chrome Chrome OS, Android, Maemo is happening, destroying all the years of M$ adopt, embrace, extend on the desktop

Java, and C# and their libraries become margenelised by Python and the cloud

Old game over.
