I gave a presentation to our board of direcotrs on Monday.  One of the
questions I fielded was regarding our use of Open Source software.  The
Director seemed rather knowledgeable of Open Source and let me know that I
should be looking to remove the company from the grips of Microsoft
whenever possible.

I cannot imagine that this question does not take place in many other
meetings round the world.
