Two recently released reports have reinforced what open source advocates have known for years: Open source has positioned itself as a strong and fundamental commercial force.
Both reports identified office suite applications space -- desktop software, such as word processing, spreadsheets and databases -- as ripe for growth for open source.
In a report from El Segundo, Calif.-based consulting firm Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC), Microsoft dominates the office suite market, with 95% of the overall share and more than 300 million users worldwide.
However, the report notes that OpenOffice.org, an open source alternative to Microsoft Office, has secured 14% of the large enterprise office systems market, with over 16 million downloads and countless CD installations.
A second report released by Research and Markets, an international research firm based in Ireland, gets to the bottom line of one of the most appealing aspects of open source applications: cost.
"Savings of up to 25% are possible with alternatives to Microsoft Office," the report stated. "Significant savings potentials for the license and operating costs make open source programs, like OpenOffice or StarOffice, an alternative to Microsoft to be reckoned with."
StarOffice is a free productivity application suite from Sun Microsystems that includes a word processor, spreadsheet, database, presentation maker and e-mail component compatible with Microsoft Office.
"In the world there is a blurring line between commercial and open source," said Paul Gustafson, the director of the Leading Edge Forum. The LEF is a program created by CSC charged with identifying various technological topics of interest and future trends in popular areas like open source.
Gustafson said the "blurring line" has occurred as commercial providers, like IBM, have started to embrace open source with applications like WebSphere, which works with many open source titles.
"This is not just for the sake of a new low-cost-based alternative; it is [vendors] recognizing and really embracing [open source] and the role it plays in software development," Gustafson said.
While cost was one of the major factors for some of the organizations in CSC's research, Gustafson said quality and flexibility were just as important when considering open source alternatives.
Gustafson said a CSC client, Thor Pederson, the Danish Minister of Finance, believed that open source was the only way to truly achieve broader interoperability between his agency and other organizations.
"They did not have the confidence that proprietary [applications] would allow them to be interoperable with other organizations, and they did not believe in the 'thou shalt adopt' approach present in some commercial vendors," Gustafson said.
GNAA ANNOUNCES PLANS TO ASSASSINATE GEORGE W. BUSH Reuters, Afghanistan
In a candle lit tent filled with towl headed but otherwise fully naked sand niggers, an anonymous GNAA representative announced his plans to assassinate George W. Bush for his attempts to suppress faggotry in the US. While masturbating furiously during an anal sodomy, he was quoted as saying, "[George W. Bush's] bill to ban gay marriages may have been largely defeated in the US Senate, but the GNAA does not stand for overt insults to its sodomous ideology."
After an abrupt orgasm accompanied by profuse sweating which provided much needed drinkable liquid to the otherwise arid area, it was stated by the GNAA representatives that George W. Bush's assassination will be carried out "soon." They plan to deploy 37 Apache helicopters in a formation depicting an erect penis to the white house painted proudly with the Penisbird emblem. After suicide bombing the white house with a few of the helicopters, some of the remaining ones will land and initiate a full scale foot assault on the establishment. Fully erect and positively naked GNAA soldiers will capture the president and incapacitate him through a series of vicious and unrelenting sodomies, finally ending his miserable life by forcing him to suffocate by orally accepting the penis of a Gay Nigger.
Meanwhile, the secret service and other fascist American establishments will be kept at bay by GNAA's third corporate infantry, which consists of a Nigerian and Afghanistanian assembly of Gayniggers equipped with the weapons of mass destruction which were never found in Iraq due to the negligence of the now analy and orally sodomized president.
The GNAA has appropriated these weapons during it's recent hostile takeover of Electronic Arts and has profited $200 million in its third quarter due to its sale of Decapitation Insurance.
The assassination of George W. Bush will send a clear message to America that the GNAA cannot be suppressed through legislation. "Erotic torturous sodomy causing the death of the president is just the beginning."

You're a fucking tool. No one is going to care until you spill the beans on just what happened between you two. Give us details or you'll be modded -1.
The judge was enlightened. Women are lower life forms. We shouldn't allow them to roam the streets freely. They deserve to be raped. In a perfect world, cow farms are replaced with female farms. We were never meant to drink disgusting cow milk when we can have the real thing. I say we start farming women for breastmilk and stop exploiting these helpless cows. Of course in order to farm breastmilk from women, we've got to get them lactating. And you know what that means.
I imagine the emulator community will find a way to do the multiplayer without owning any Nintendo hardware at all. If emulated Super Smash Brothers tournaments can exist, I bet this FF stuff is childs play.
The thing that's great about Slashdot is the whole anonymous thing. I can be a trolling dick on this site and be completely normal off the site. I'm so different IRL than I am here that you never know who I could really me. You might even know me IRL and not know of my secret little Slashdot life.
With that being said, I work with lots of people IRL. I work in a very public place with lots of public computers. I help people with the computers. The other day I helped an old lady copy a text document from the computer to her floppy disk. Like all technophobes, she proceeded to inform me of how difficult computer concepts are to her, and graciously thanked me for my polite assistance.
She also went off on kind of a rant. She told me she's a social worker, taking care of people with health problems. She told me that the day before she searched the internet for a cheap source of bulk adult diapers so she could provide one of her incontinent clients with a cheaper source. In doing her search though, she ran into a bunch of adult diaper fetish websites. She almost blew up at me as if I'm the source of all the bad things on the internet. "That's sick! That's terrible! I was so disgusted! Why are things like that allowed to exist on the internet?"
Rather than debate people's personal fetish preferences with her (no matter how odd) I just decided to nod my head and smile, like I do often with old people. After that, she proceeded to tell me how much one of the other people who frequents the area annoys her. Though, I have to agree with her on this one. The guy she was talking about always comes in with maxed out volume headphones with the most annoying trendy rap songs, sports a pink backpack, is extremely loudmouthed, and bursts into fits of laughter out of nowhere. Generally, a crazy fuck.
So after about 15 minutes of listening to this old lady tell me everything that's wrong with the internet and the people around us she finally decided to leave. On her way out she said, "And if that weren't bad enough, my therapist recently diagnosed me as bipolar!"
My calm, reserved, collected personality prevented me from saying any of this to her... but WTF?! What a fucking hypocrite! She rants for fifteen minutes about how sick in the head people on the internet are and how crazy that loudmouthed guy with the pink backpack is then she goes and tells me she's bipolar!
Boy I'll tell ya... you see some crazy shit working with a lot of people
I can confirm this. I've been paid to perform hundreds of installations of pirated Windows, along with providing the pirated CD. My work is cheaper than paying for the legit service and provides the same result. The commoners and technophobes could care less about the details other than a cost-benefit analysis, so they eat it up and I turn a tidy profit eating into Microsoft's bulging one.
This qualifies as news because I have a friend who's been bitching about how Evolution integrates calander and how there should be a stand alone calander app for Linux like Mac has.

Two recently released reports have reinforced what open source advocates have known for years: Open source has positioned itself as a strong and fundamental commercial force.
Both reports identified office suite applications space -- desktop software, such as word processing, spreadsheets and databases -- as ripe for growth for open source.
In a report from El Segundo, Calif.-based consulting firm Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC), Microsoft dominates the office suite market, with 95% of the overall share and more than 300 million users worldwide.
However, the report notes that OpenOffice.org, an open source alternative to Microsoft Office, has secured 14% of the large enterprise office systems market, with over 16 million downloads and countless CD installations.
A second report released by Research and Markets, an international research firm based in Ireland, gets to the bottom line of one of the most appealing aspects of open source applications: cost.
"Savings of up to 25% are possible with alternatives to Microsoft Office," the report stated. "Significant savings potentials for the license and operating costs make open source programs, like OpenOffice or StarOffice, an alternative to Microsoft to be reckoned with."
StarOffice is a free productivity application suite from Sun Microsystems that includes a word processor, spreadsheet, database, presentation maker and e-mail component compatible with Microsoft Office.
"In the world there is a blurring line between commercial and open source," said Paul Gustafson, the director of the Leading Edge Forum. The LEF is a program created by CSC charged with identifying various technological topics of interest and future trends in popular areas like open source.
Gustafson said the "blurring line" has occurred as commercial providers, like IBM, have started to embrace open source with applications like WebSphere, which works with many open source titles.
"This is not just for the sake of a new low-cost-based alternative; it is [vendors] recognizing and really embracing [open source] and the role it plays in software development," Gustafson said.
While cost was one of the major factors for some of the organizations in CSC's research, Gustafson said quality and flexibility were just as important when considering open source alternatives.
Gustafson said a CSC client, Thor Pederson, the Danish Minister of Finance, believed that open source was the only way to truly achieve broader interoperability between his agency and other organizations.
"They did not have the confidence that proprietary [applications] would allow them to be interoperable with other organizations, and they did not believe in the 'thou shalt adopt' approach present in some commercial vendors," Gustafson said.

In a candle lit tent filled with towl headed but otherwise fully naked sand niggers, an anonymous GNAA representative announced his plans to assassinate George W. Bush for his attempts to suppress faggotry in the US. While masturbating furiously during an anal sodomy, he was quoted as saying, "[George W. Bush's] bill to ban gay marriages may have been largely defeated in the US Senate, but the GNAA does not stand for overt insults to its sodomous ideology."
After an abrupt orgasm accompanied by profuse sweating which provided much needed drinkable liquid to the otherwise arid area, it was stated by the GNAA representatives that George W. Bush's assassination will be carried out "soon." They plan to deploy 37 Apache helicopters in a formation depicting an erect penis to the white house painted proudly with the Penisbird emblem. After suicide bombing the white house with a few of the helicopters, some of the remaining ones will land and initiate a full scale foot assault on the establishment. Fully erect and positively naked GNAA soldiers will capture the president and incapacitate him through a series of vicious and unrelenting sodomies, finally ending his miserable life by forcing him to suffocate by orally accepting the penis of a Gay Nigger.
Meanwhile, the secret service and other fascist American establishments will be kept at bay by GNAA's third corporate infantry, which consists of a Nigerian and Afghanistanian assembly of Gayniggers equipped with the weapons of mass destruction which were never found in Iraq due to the negligence of the now analy and orally sodomized president.
The GNAA has appropriated these weapons during it's recent hostile takeover of Electronic Arts and has profited $200 million in its third quarter due to its sale of Decapitation Insurance.
The assassination of George W. Bush will send a clear message to America that the GNAA cannot be suppressed through legislation. "Erotic torturous sodomy causing the death of the president is just the beginning."

You're a fucking tool. No one is going to care until you spill the beans on just what happened between you two. Give us details or you'll be modded -1.
The judge was enlightened. Women are lower life forms. We shouldn't allow them to roam the streets freely. They deserve to be raped. In a perfect world, cow farms are replaced with female farms. We were never meant to drink disgusting cow milk when we can have the real thing. I say we start farming women for breastmilk and stop exploiting these helpless cows. Of course in order to farm breastmilk from women, we've got to get them lactating. And you know what that means.

I just thought I should inform you will die on January 3, 2042 at 8:52pm.
for President!
It's offtopic because he's an idiot.
Anything that has a strong emulation community behind it with plenty of totally playable games, then it is retro.
Is there anything wrong with that? No.
I imagine the emulator community will find a way to do the multiplayer without owning any Nintendo hardware at all. If emulated Super Smash Brothers tournaments can exist, I bet this FF stuff is childs play.
Choosing TUI over GUI does not make you leet. It makes you a luddite.
The thing that's great about Slashdot is the whole anonymous thing. I can be a trolling dick on this site and be completely normal off the site. I'm so different IRL than I am here that you never know who I could really me. You might even know me IRL and not know of my secret little Slashdot life.
With that being said, I work with lots of people IRL. I work in a very public place with lots of public computers. I help people with the computers. The other day I helped an old lady copy a text document from the computer to her floppy disk. Like all technophobes, she proceeded to inform me of how difficult computer concepts are to her, and graciously thanked me for my polite assistance.
She also went off on kind of a rant. She told me she's a social worker, taking care of people with health problems. She told me that the day before she searched the internet for a cheap source of bulk adult diapers so she could provide one of her incontinent clients with a cheaper source. In doing her search though, she ran into a bunch of adult diaper fetish websites. She almost blew up at me as if I'm the source of all the bad things on the internet. "That's sick! That's terrible! I was so disgusted! Why are things like that allowed to exist on the internet?"
Rather than debate people's personal fetish preferences with her (no matter how odd) I just decided to nod my head and smile, like I do often with old people. After that, she proceeded to tell me how much one of the other people who frequents the area annoys her. Though, I have to agree with her on this one. The guy she was talking about always comes in with maxed out volume headphones with the most annoying trendy rap songs, sports a pink backpack, is extremely loudmouthed, and bursts into fits of laughter out of nowhere. Generally, a crazy fuck.
So after about 15 minutes of listening to this old lady tell me everything that's wrong with the internet and the people around us she finally decided to leave. On her way out she said, "And if that weren't bad enough, my therapist recently diagnosed me as bipolar!"
My calm, reserved, collected personality prevented me from saying any of this to her... but WTF?! What a fucking hypocrite! She rants for fifteen minutes about how sick in the head people on the internet are and how crazy that loudmouthed guy with the pink backpack is then she goes and tells me she's bipolar!
Boy I'll tell ya... you see some crazy shit working with a lot of people

The Lava Sharks got'm.
Don't worry, he's not dead. He'll appear in Episode IV as Darth Vader.
I can confirm this. I've been paid to perform hundreds of installations of pirated Windows, along with providing the pirated CD. My work is cheaper than paying for the legit service and provides the same result. The commoners and technophobes could care less about the details other than a cost-benefit analysis, so they eat it up and I turn a tidy profit eating into Microsoft's bulging one.
This qualifies as news because I have a friend who's been bitching about how Evolution integrates calander and how there should be a stand alone calander app for Linux like Mac has.
So there.
... it's still compiling.
