Hi folks, Just seen this on The Register... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01/27/tory_linux_push/ "The Tory party will if elected end government over-spending on IT projects by simply choosing open source alternatives and splitting projects up, it believes. This cunning plan will save us £600m a year, we are told, mostly thanks to increased competition. According to figures from Mark Thompson of Judge Business School, 80 per cent of savings will come from apparently increased competition while 20 per cent will come from reduced licensing costs." According to The Register a copy of the report is available if you e-mail contact@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Probably worth reading the article first. Anyone interested in e-mailing for a copy?
