UnderScan writes "After researching this material for about three years, Tom Adelstein tracks Microsoft's anti-Linux lobbying money: "Microsoft has unparalleled influence throughout the Federal government. On the cover of a recent edition of VarBusiness Magazine dated June 26, 2005 the editors presented a large headline which read: 'It's A Microsoft World. Five years after running afoul of the Feds, Microsoft is as powerful as ever. Pushing a platform instead of products could make it stronger still. Why nothing seems to stop it.'""

Uh huh. Its the corporations/George Bush/Bill Gates/black helicopters/The Boogeyman that are keeping people from adopting OSS.

If that were true then how do you explain Redhat, Linspire, etc? They are certainly corporations. How does that fit in with your conspiracy theory?

Maybe people aren't adopting OSS for other reasons (other than George Bush whispering in their ear).
