Is Microsoft overstating the situation? Perhaps, but considering that they have been forced to accept US$3.00 or less per seat for MSO & WinXP to keep contracts, because organizations are threatening to move to Linux & OOo, I think it is safe to say that FLOSS is making major inroads. > as long as many people in the FOSS community keep saying things like, "If you want xxx feature, code it yourself". As opposed to proprietary software, where if you want a feature you have to wait on the pleasure of the proprietary vendor to implement it. FLOSS gives the user the potential to customize the software to their needs. Granted with FLOSS you either need to code it, or pay for somebody to code it. With proprietary software, those options are denied to you. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
