Why Free and Open Source Software is important to a global organization
,----[ Quote ]
| "Everybody uses Word, why use anything else it just causes trouble".
|
| This sentiment is very common today and is often repeated in one
| form or another as a justification to use Microsoft Products
| exclusively.
|
| To be fair there are organizations where this may in fact be the
| path of least resistance and in some cases may even be the right
| answer.
|
| However...
|
| In any GLOBAL organization there are several other factors that need
| to be considered before you decide it is just more convenient to use
| "Word". This is particularly true in a global organization dedicated
| to teaching the Bible. Why?
|
| Because by using the Word format you are indirectly forcing people to
| either spend money they do not have for MS Word licenses, or you are
| encouraging them to steal software from Microsoft by using pirated
| copies.
|
| Obviously both of these choices are unacceptable.
