Hi

There's a very interesting article about UK Govt and the uptake (or
partial) failure of uisng open source.

http://www.computing.co.uk/ctg/feature/2241042/levelling-the-playing-field-open-source-in-the-public-sector

Its interesting as this is the front page article and often in the past
Computing magazine just features the industries' big boys
and proprietary software world.

Well worth a read - at least the govt seems to be slowly getting there ....
but needs to do more to get local councils and govt depts to abandon MS
office and realise there is another way ....
