| Windows users will soon discover that their 
| system contains some powerful utilities

Two-Wheel Linux, and Other Reasons to Be Thankful for FOSS

,----[ Quote ]
| Monoculture in software may have been an 
| improvement over "the previous chaos," but 
| "monoculture has its problems for 
| monopolistic pricing, epidemics of malware, 
| rigid licensing and a constant struggle to 
| get machines to work for us," Pogson 
| asserted.
| 
| FOSS, on the other hand, "is the right mix 
| of chaos and order," he said. "We need both 
| to have a healthy, innovative, flexible 
| infrastructure in IT."
| 
| In other words, Pogson added, "way to go 
| FLOSS!"
