Some choice Ashley Highfield quotes "....And as for the battle with the
Open Source Consortium? "The 12 people who demonstrated outside our
offices have every right to demonstrate," says Ashfield. "But I think
'the 12 people' says it all."..."

   "We have 17.1 million users of bbc.co.uk in the UK and, as far as our
server logs can make out, 5 per cent of those [use Macs] and around 400
to 600 are Linux users."

The bs detector just went off the scale!

I suspect they are panicking :)
