Ditch Microsoft, Save Â269m Says Hungarian Open Source Group
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite a struggling economy and public debt,
| the Hungarian government continues to spend
| millions on Microsoft licences when cheaper
| alternatives exist, say open source groups
|
| With governments across Europe including the UK
| looking to slash public spending to tackle
| budget deficits resulting from bank bail-outs
| and other effects of the recession, open source
| could be an important way to cut IT costs,
| according to free software advocates.
