Japan To Do Payroll On Linux
strannik writes "Yahoo/Reuters is reporting that the The Japanese Government will use Linux for it's payroll system. Fujitsu LTD, IBM Japan LTD and OKI Electronic Industry Co. will develop the system by March of 2004. The new system is expected to halve operating costs (to about 350 Billion Yen a year)."

did you know that 250 billion yen is only $143 american dollars?
Oh--was that offensive? Maybe some people reading your post were offended, too.
Yeah, and "Rinux" will save them 350 billion yen. Thats almost enough for a candy bar!
note: don't bother flaming, I know the exchange rate isn't that bad anymore....
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty nor security

They forgot to add in the costs of teaching employees how to use the new Linux system, retraining administrators and help desk employees to support the software and how in the long run it would be cheaper to just buy new software every year.
Not only that, they forgot what would happen if the community stopped support of Linux overnight, or where would they go if Linux went out of business next year?
In the end, will it really save money? I think the anser is clear.
If I missed one of the points, please correct me. I hope this becomes a huge success and only encourages other governments to adopt open-source software.

Not gonna happen. Especially since this place is populated with Only Open Source fags. Half these people don't know shit and their argumentation is little more than "fsck off." Open Source is gay. Fucking, flamboyantly, up-the-arse gay.

If Japan's running communist open source software, does this mean they're going to abolish democracy in Japan soon?

The Linux-hating, Microsoft-loving crowd also tends to be extreme right-wing Christians who, as a demographic, are about as racist as they come. The idea that a Linux hater would be offended by a racial joke is stupid. Stop trolling.
Grow some fucking skin you overly politically correct jerkoff.
Red wine goes with red meat, fanboy.
