Re: A win for open source...

Hi.

On the same site:

"The first of the South Australian documents represents an enormous
business opportunity. The South Australia public sector runs a fleet of
between 60,000 and 70,000 PC’s and notebook computers, and purchases
about 17,000 units annually."

I guess even at bargain prices, a copy of XP and Office x 17,000 PA is
gunna be a load of money. Doesn't the government have a site license or
something like that?

Regards,

Michael
