| Furthermore, future business leaders will have a completely different attitude 
| and be less sceptical towards Open Source and free software. This Millennial 
| generation grew up with software like Linux, Gimp, Open Office, etc., and knows 
| that product price and product quality are two totally independent factors.

IT, key business enabler in downturn

| Internally, we have developed solutions based on Open Source software, including 
| a custom-built software configuration management solution. We were able to save 
| significant costs on licensing fee and acquisition costs, by adopting Open Source 
| software for developing the solution.

Growing Your Business Using Ubuntu

| I am able to run about 90% of what I need on a daily basis through Ubuntu.
| For the other 10% I have to use a virtualized installation of Windows.  Even
| if 10% of your network had to have Windows for something, the savings for the
| rest would be astronomical.  For most users, Ubuntu would be sufficient to
| run 100% of needed software, therefore saving your company thousands of
| dollars in licensing costs.  Simply replacing one Windows file server with
| Ubuntu would save nearly $1000.00 and none of your users would know it was
| there.
