One Size Fits All Versus The Right Tool for the Job
,----[ Quote ]
| The bottom line is that open source software does a lot of things really
| well -- and it is, in many ways, equivalent or superior to its proprietary
| counterparts. There are areas, however, that go beyond general desktop
| computing where it just isn't there -- yet. We need to break ourselves -- and
| others -- from the notion that it has to be all or nothing. Keep using that
| crucial proprietary application, if it is needed to do your job -- but is
| that closed browser necessary? How about that office suite?

| The UK Government, even more so now they have just spanked £500bn propping up
| the banking system, must start to act and reduce the outrageous and
| completely wasteful expenditure on proprietary software. Why oh why don’t we
| just do a nation-wide roll out of OpenOffice.org to EVERY computer in the
| public sector and especially in Education? It would be a good start, and then
| we can get rid of that festering boil called Windows later.

| * no more public documents created in binary, patent encumbered formats,
| * an end to the single vendor lock-in and monopoly,
| * no more two-tier children…
