So Microsoft is accountable when their software is hacked? Wow. Who knew? An interesting news item from Kenya, where the government is planning to replace M$ with open-source. Microsoft is up to its old tricks, spreading FUD. So Microsoft is accountable when their software is hacked? Wow. Who knew? Standard Digital News : State warned on ditching copyrighted software

The accountable bit rather depends on a country's contract law really. It's about the same level of FUD I see coming from the opensource movement about how much better opensource code is. I suspect that they won't see much in the way of cost saving to be honest - how much software that is used is legit in the first place?
