To cut expenses, it should have probably gone with Linux, rather than take a
lead role in Microsoft's anti-Linux crusade.
I remember a discussion from last year. It revolved around Microsoft's
hoovering of revenues, which leads to layoffs. All that remains are 'box
booters', rather than developers than extend and improve software for the
company, as well as the community from which they benefit. That serves as
valid rationale for governments that choose FOSS.
