I liked this comment:

Merrill Lynch is beginning to evaluate desktop set-ups based on open-source
software, with the eventual hope of running 20 percent of its desktop using
open-source products.

"Our primary reason to do that is our sense that the desktop market is not a
free, competitive market. Prices are higher than they need to be,"
