Also of note: On Tuesday of last week the German Government announced
that it will slowly switch over completely to Linux from MS. One of the
reasons is that they no longer want to be 'beholden' to MS but also
because of security concerns. Additionally, several governments in Latin
America have announced that they will use Linux instead of MS. The first
of these is Peru. The handwriting is on the wall for MS & the windows
OS. It is only a matter of time.
