Recession? What's Your Plan?
,----[ Quote ]

| Here again considering a strategy of moving to Linux and Open Source
| solutions along with virtualization of your computing environment might be an

Recession Worries? Open Source Software Is a Great Way to Cut Costs
,----[ Quote ]
| With the world economy in shambles many businesses are already battening down
| the hatches expecting rough seas ahead. IT budgets will shrink along with all
| other budgets, and maybe even more than other budgets. After all, companies
| still need to advertise and pay their workforce, but they may be able to do
| without new servers or software for a while. And that is where open source
| software vendors can help keep the ship sailing. Also read, Five Cheap (or

| Relating to Microsoft, Homa said, "We used a lot of Linux. None of the breach
| was anything related to Linux. All of it was Microsoft. Homa went on to
| say, "Microsoft is so full of holes. That's why it's still a target. If you
| limit your exposure to Microsoft, you're going to be in a more secure

Open the Windows; the Stench is Unbearable
,----[ Quote ]
| If some of this technology were an automobile, it would be banned from the

| rolled over and died. It should come with a warning label, “Unsafe at any
| speed.” Look at how quickly and frequently global commerce gets disrupted
| using it.
