Only a few years ago, computers were used as tools to get other jobs done.

It’s also a distraction from the billions of dollars of damage that the Microsofters (as distinct from either closed source or open source or free software) cause those trying to get work done using computers.

Adoption of FLOSS is unstoppable, and even now, at these times of crisis, FLOSS saves millions of dollars. In the other hand, Oracle now owns Open Office. Do you think they will not advance the adoption of Open Office as a serious office suite over M$ Office ??? They will, and there will be no Riaa, Mpaa, or whatever to put roadblocks in the tracks of Oracle. Open Source has a new, powerful and influent friend…
