Large companies can save a substantial amount of money by using open source
software products, according to a study published Wednesday by the Swiss
consultancy Soreon Research GmbH.

Companies with a 1 million pound ($1.1 million) budget for office software
can reduce their costs as much as 20% by using OpenOffice software instead
of Microsoft's Office product, Soreon said in a statement. And those
running the open source Linux operating system instead of Microsoft's
Windows on their servers can save as much as 30%.
