The German government has already moved to Linux. Most web servers already run on it. Ubuntu seems to be a 'human friendly' Linux that works. Microsoft seem to realise this and seem to be trying to get out of the operating system business. Why else do you think they're trying to buy Yahoo? -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

They copy the best apps out there and "bundle them" thereby putting the first company ( "the one with the vision") out of business. >> Stay informed about: Microsoft funding EU
