About Ants and Grasshoppers

Open Source Software has been making an impact for several years. Unless you have come from the technical field, you may not have even noticed it. It hasn’t gone unnoticed by some of the larger proprietary software development firms.
UBUNTU and the overall status of the Linux community are starting to make advances at a pace that is making the proprietary firms more nervous with each new release.
Today, I stumbled on this piece of creative writing that depicts the situation.
Thanks for the update on Ubuntu. Bit by bit I am leaving the pay as you go and moving to Linux. It has come a long ways from the early 90’s when… I expect to see a lot of lawsuits as the idea of free versus really expensive is a threat to established companies.
In countries like we live in Linux seems to offer a real opportunity to schools etc to use “out of date” equipment for a fraction of the cost to bring in MS or Apple.
Gotta go to work and use MS….
Hi Mike. You are right. Going to some of the schools is still on my “to do” list.
