How To Save $1 Trillion a Year With Open Source

ChiefMonkeyGrinder writes "Cygnus founder Michael Tiemann estimates IT customers globally could save a trillion a year with open source or free source software." Not that a guy with a title like "VP of Open Source Affairs" at Red Hat would have a reason to be biased, but it's an interesting little read about a guy who's been doing this longer than you. Well, most of you anyway.

I wish GIMP has followed that lead. I used to use it in my web development classes for teaching basic graphics editing, but it was so embarrassing for people to see the name, I finally stopped using it. Better to spend some money than to offend a bunch of people and look like a jackass as an instructor (whether you view it as a derogatory name for the handicapped or a Pulp Fiction reference, it's pretty damn bad either way).
