  UK government report disagrees with Microsoft on Linux
Time: 13:19 EST/18:19 GMT | News Source: the inquirer | Posted By: Todd Richardson

A UK GOVERNMENT REPORT into the viability of open source software has concluded that it is not only a credible alternative to proprietary software like Windows, it will also meet most of the requirements of desktop users. The report, produced by the Office of Government Commerce (OCG), is an independent office of the Treasury, which holds the government's purse strings. It said that the main obstacles to implementing open source software are desktop applications, and the lack of apps to compete with large scale proprietary enterprise level products.
