FLOSS for Medium Businesses : challenges and opportunities

,----[ Quote ]
| My answer was that Open Source is 
| essentially a buyer market, not a vendor 
| market. If you want to select an open 
| source software, you can certainly find 
| between 10 and more than 1000 open source 
| product depending on what you are looking 
| for (ex: a Web Server, a CMS, etc.). As a 
| consequence, you have to define your need 
| carefully, select one or several open 
| source solution and then evaluate the 
| maturity of the solution.

Microsoft Losing its Grip on UK Small Businesses?

,----[ Quote ]
| Put another way, according to this survey few small business in the UK intend
| upgrading to Windows 7 soon; the majority want to move to solutions
| independent of the operating system, to those based on the browser; and fully
| a third of the companies are using Firefox, not Internet Explorer, for that
| purpose.
|
| That adds up to a bunch of headaches for Microsoft if those results are
| mirrored across the whole of the UK, because it suggests some fairly seismic
| shifts are underway in the small business sector, and that the company is
| failing on multiple fronts.
