"Japanese Government to Embrace Linux"
A Reuters article covering a story originally published in the Nikkei Shimbun says a consortium of major IT firms including IBM (IBM), NEC (NIPNY) and Oracle (ORCL) plan to sell servers and systems running Linux in Japan, following a measure by the government to promote use of the open-source OS within agencies from July.
Microsoft currently runs 78% of servers in Japan, versus only 14% using Linux, according to the Nikkei.
I love this quote:
"The Japanese government regards the high penetration of Microsoft OS as excessive and is concerned about having less freedom in system's development."
