UK Government says, "Dump Microsoft"

Today, the government of the United Kingdom now says:

"Dump Microsoft, Use Linux ..."

It's only a matter of time for more and more people wake up to common sense.

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-07-09/dump-microsoft-use-linux-to-save-money-u-k-officials-suggest.html

A few key excerpts:

New U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron asked 600,000 government workers to
make suggestions on saving money ... 56,000 ideas submitted ...

... migrate the whole of government from Microsoft products to Linux and
open-source software like Openoffice” ... suggested dropping Microsoft.

... before the Conservatives won power [officials said they] favored the
idea ... quote: “We need to follow the example of businesses all over the
world and take advantage of open-source technology,”

Now, if only we could get a little of this common sense in Washington D.C.
