08.>>>>Windows vs Linux - the true cost
.(Techworld.com: 16/09/2003)
We've had numerous surveys, reports and studies in the past
two years that have pointed first way one and then the other.
In fact, the only thing the reports have had in common is their
shameless bias and careful twisting of scenarios to come out
in favour of their preferred operating system. http://www.techworld.com/features/index.cfm?fuseaction=displayfeature&FeatureID=142

.(eWEEK: 23/09/2003)
The federal government on Tuesday announced a major new purchasing
initiative designed to reward vendors whose products meet certain
stringent security standards. The program is an outgrowth of
an emerging philosophy inside the Beltway that the government's
purchasing power should be used to encourage software and hardware
vendors to improve the security of their offerings. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1276904,00.asp
LEGISLATION AND POLICY MAKING

.(ZDNet UK: 16/09/2003)
A group of European politicians are urging the EU and
the European Parliament to end their reliance on proprietary
software, and embrace open-source instead. Members of the European
Parliament representing the Green Party and the European Free
Alliance (EFA) believe that Europe's software industry would
get a substantial boost if the EU and the European Parliament
migrated their IT systems onto free and open-source software.
