Proprietary software--banned in Boston? (News.com)Proprietary software--banned in Boston? (News.com)Posted Oct 1, 2003 2:34 UTC (Wed) by proski (subscriber, #104)In reply to: Proprietary software--banned in Boston? (News.com) by guinan Parent article: Proprietary software--banned in Boston? (News.com) I hope we'll never see government contracts mandating Linux or any other operating system. The government can set conditions, like compatibility with existing hardware or openness of the code or low TCO. Whether you can do it with Linux or NetBSD or even with Windows - it should not matter as long as the generic conditions are justified. I also hope that money spent on buying nad supporting buggy software will be spent elsewhere. Software doesn't need to be expensive.
