CNET news.com: Is Microsoft losing ground to Linux?.

Picture this: Imagine what we could do with Linux if we took the 2.8 billion dollars that we paid for Windows licenses in the three months from July through September, and poured them into Linux development.

Or if we took the 2.3 billion we paid for Office licenses and put that into furthering development of OpenOffice?

And we’re just talking one quarter here.

The power of open source is not just what you can get for free. The real power lies in what we can create if we take the money that we were going to spend on licenses anyway and use them to further develop the open source software.

That’s the way we work here at Collaboraid.
