They have many terrorism problems in the southern islands and the government is not very stable, having a revolution (peaceful) that overthrough the government just 7 years ago and the current administration "has been beleaguered by charges of election fraud and corruption." NY Times
While they are one of our strongest allies in the region i dont think it is completely stable like other possible choices in South East Asia.
I know where i work they use Sharepoint and as of now there is no way to get away from it. If google wants to succeed they need to make something like Sharepoint but better because i hate Sharepoint currently but all the people above can't live without it anymore.
Do we get a link with this or you just gonna say it and hope we believe it.
Either way it isn't the same way now. The USMC and Army are totally different than their Vietnam era counterparts which were undisciplined and unmotivated. The Army is slipping now with lower expectations for recruits but over all we are hundreds times better off today than 40 years ago.

Actually the armed forces do swear allegiance to the President. They also swear to the constitution. I don't know what would happen in a situation like that. The soldiers and Marines on the ground would probably refuse the order. Unless they were hippies or something, then i bet they would willingly take them out:).
Marine Oath
"I (state your name) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
Yeah its not about you, me or most of the other people reading/. We are not the customers Linux needs to go after. If we want OSS to succeed it needs to go to a broader consumer base, not just geeks and nerds. This is what we need Dell for. If someone can go out and buy a $500 computer that runs Ubuntu or another Distro that "JUST WORKS" they will be happy. Cheap and quality are something that Linux can provide that M$ can'.
