all fighting over which is best aside. It is a case of open source is just another piece of software...

One you can control if you should so wish or that you can pay somebody else to control for you.

closed source, well that only comes with one flavor we control you with it.

I'd like to see all public bodies forced to use Open source. Train our selves how to use and control software rather than be controlled by it and it's creators.

BTW I do like the many good things that microsoft has brought the usablility of PC's. I just don't like the way they get the job done or cost they charge for it.
