An Alternative to Microsoft Gains Support in High Places (NY Times)

Several readers have pointed out this NY Times article which introduces open source software, and Linux, as an alternative to Microsoft. "As open source software, especially Linux, has spread, countries in other regions have also come to regard it as both a model of software development and perhaps an engine of economic growth. The government proposals and projects are efforts to position their nations to exploit a promising trend in technology." [The NY Times is a registration required site]
