Atos Origin Predicts Open Source Landscape

Posted by Hemos on from the crystal-ball-for-the-future dept.

Rob writes "IT services provider Atos Origin has predicted a forthcoming change in the software landscape based on the results of a survey it has carried out in conjunction with the UK's National Computing Centre. The survey, which was compiled through over 140 web-based questionnaires completed by senior UK IT professionals in May and June, indicated that over 60% believe open source will either increase its presence in certain business areas or be a fundamental component in core IT systems, while 73% expect open source to develop within their organizations' IT strategy over the next five years."

    I love XHTML and CSS:
    the standards that make webpages best.
    I use <DIV> and <SPAN>,
    and AJAX modules from CPAN.
    I'm the King of the web,
    I flow and you ebb.

    Your website's whack:
    Its compliance in lack.
    A layout with tables;
    <IMG> tags with no ALT= labels?

    1996? Get out of here,
    You won't get any trackbacks from the blogosphere.
