Hola Oscar,
I'll write in English now for the sake of all the other good people on this board. Here in Sydney, Australia, I have friends who work for the education department & I can tell you, they are pushing open source,

My opinion is that, if you have to choose who to push open source to first, I would say it's Government, I believe that when Government starts to use open source, they in turn influence private enterprise & Companies, Government is at the top of the feeding chain & can force changes in trends much quicker than private enterprise.

Private enterprise is always more open to Microsoft Corruption Tactics & threats, but I agree with you about the Big companies, if we have the likes of IBM , HP, Novel etc, it accelerates the transition.

Just look at all the Linux forums, these sites are getting much bigger traffic from Linux neubies than 12 months earlier, every year more & more kids are turning to Linux. It's too late for Microsoft, the momentum is now unstopable.

Quidate hermano, happy & healthy new year to you!!
