... just building a bit on both this story and the earlier slashdot conflag' entitled Vietnam goes open source
Two great new Vietnamese language Linux CD-distros are now available -- and make great toys for loading up Windows or Linux partitions straight past most file security most people apply:
We're approaching fully localized OSS OS's and Office suites for the vast majority of the 80 million plus Vietnamese who can neither speak English nor afford MS's global one-price policy for licenses.
NB: MS promised an effective Viet-localized Windows/Office release back in '95. But, to date, nothing they've delivered has made a dent in the pirated US-English MS Vietnam-market-share (90%+).
Viva la HeteroISCult[TM,01]!
Down with HomoISCult [02].
All the best from,

[02] What does inbred pitbulls and an MS-monopolized IS infrastructure have in common? They're both crazed and dangerous.
