Closed source programs like Office are the standard in government (just like in the private sector).

When you have committee after committee that needs to share data, it's beneficial to use one standard so that you spend less time haggling with technological problems and more time on the real work -- governmental issues.

As nice as it would be to see all governmental organizations, agencies, committees, etc. using open source or free software to get their work done, it's not something that will happen overnight (or even this year).

But if the coders keep coding and the zealots keep shouting, they'll hear the voice of reason. Perhaps even just the monetary issue is enough to get them all to switch over.

But many folks may have no idea what effect preemptability actually has upon a user who uses GNU/Linux. Here's the good news:

[] Smoother video
[] Smoother user interface
[] A seemingly more responsive computer
[] Overall smoothness in operation
(reply to this if you'd like to add to my list)

Congrats to Linus for getting this ready so soon, and to those who helped develop it.
