| statement couldn't be more true, it's simply becoming easier and less 
| expensive to build and launch a startup compared to 5 years ago, or even last 
| year.

,----[ Quote ]
| "If you are using open source, it is even better, because you have this whole
| massive group of resources to back it up", Malcolm said. "That is the massive
| advantage for any start-up using software-as-a-service, especially using open
| source."
|
| While the start-ups could see "enormous benefits" from the cloud, one issue
| they raised was over the role of Microsoft, which recently made a push into
| the area with the launch of its Azure set of cloud services. On a show of
| hands, four of the eight were frequent users of open-source software, while
| almost all said they used some open source.
