McVoy Strikes Back

Open source is a good business for poorer countries in Latin American, Africa and Asia .
The excellent quality of the OSS development tools is helping to the local economy because is a little harder, an example, to a fame less colleges and programmers in this countries, pay the licenses for Visual Studio and tools like Bitkeeper.
Has McVoy an idea about how to distribute free or good quality cheap software and development tools with the same impact of the OSS movement?. Smaller versions of commercial software is not helping, think Windows XP Starter Edition vs. any respectable Linux distribution or Office 2003 Basic Edition vs. future OpenOffice 2.0.
In mexico we are good administrators (some people think just the contrary), and somewhat bad programmers (all agree), but we can talk a lot with costumers... This is the only IT job which you can be well payed for that in the mexican industry.
As a consultant, I earn more money than most of my friends, programmers or systems administrators.
