Small Player Scores Big Open-Source Win

| In the scrappy open-source software world--where software is developed
| in the open, rather than within the confines of corporate
| patents--successes are hard-won and often come in small chunks.
| Typically it's a few thousand government employees in Munich,
| Brasilia, or Amsterdam who begin using the Linux operating system
| or the Open Office suite of business programs, shunning comparable
| offerings from the likes of Microsoft.

| 1&1 Internet, the world's largest Web hosting company, said it
| will roll out 1 million e-mail accounts this year running on
| Open-Xchange's open-source software.
