Open source revolution in the public sector

,----[ Quote ]
| I was asked two very interesting questions by 
| a thoughtful technical architect who worked 
| for a major Local Authority who now, like 
| many many others in this sector, wanted to 
| know more about open source software.
| 
| He wanted to know, in the light of the 
| Government's well-publicised new found 
| enthusiasm for open source software, whether 
| I thought they would all be using open source 
| software in ten year's time and if so when 
| and how would it all happen?
