More and more people are switching to open source. I did a presentation
at the PC user group meeting yesterday. There mostly "Windows" users. I
showed off Ubuntu Edgy with the 3D desktop. I think most of them thought
the 3D stuff was just eye candy. What really wowed them was all the free
software that came with Ubuntu.
There were a few in the group that had tried Linux and others were
threatening to switch. I passed out a few Ubuntu CD's but made sure
everyone got a copy of "TheOpenCD". It's a CD with open source
applications for Windows. It's got Firefox, Gimp, Scribus, etc...
www.theopencd.org
I think this is the year open source takes off.
