Good for them!

I do think this open source stuff is like a snowball, it's still pretty small, but once it starts rolling it's gonna grow fast.

if it doesn't start a boom soon they will have to work a little harder because people need to try something other than Microsoft....how much money could a business save if they used linux and open document form along with open office...a lot.
