Microsoft bets on Africa's IT future ------------------------------------ "There is a lot of interest among African developers in open source software, and adoption of Sun's OpenOffice open source productivity suite has been strong, according to Mtoba.
Developing countries are the most likely to adopt free and open source software, he noted, and predicted that interest in OpenOffice would continue to grow. He added that he expects to see even greater OpenOffice growth as African nations begin to clamp down on their piracy problems. With a minority able to afford licensing fees, African buyers will show greater interest in free alternatives, he said." http://www.itworld.com/Tech/2418/050201africa/ ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
