Open Source Alternatives To Popular Software
,----[ Quote ]
| In the world of personal technology, there are only three major players:
| Google, Microsoft and Apple. Why are they major? Because, like it or love it,
| at some point during the day, you’re going to find yourself using one of
| their programs or services—whether you’re doing a web search using Google,
| writing a paper using Microsoft Word or organizing your music using iTunes.
| But it doesn’t have to be this way.

| Some analysts are looking for any signs of improvement from
| Microsoft's internet division, which continues to lose market
| share in web search to Google.

| Microsoft's online services group saw revenue fall for the last
| four quarters and posted a loss in the past three quarters while
| it shifted to a new internet advertising platform and overhauled
| the company's web properties.
