Re: [LUG] Next Microsoft CEO?

 



it would be nice to know that we'd have
something like 95% worldwide free software adoption.

Do we not already? Proprietary is just a thin layer over FLOSS these days.


How do you come to that conclusion?

Business standards are still all about commercial (and proprietary) software, even if there is a wider push for open standards between them.

Windows, Office, Sage. That's a typical working environment in the west.

And then you've got all the CMS's, management and planning suites, a huge array of intranet platforms, some of which are very expensive, lots of unique and bespoke code written because that company can't find an off-the shelf solution, FLOSS or commercial.

Not much floss I can see in that?
