| 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?

| What you mean having a cd and installing it on all gov computers isnt legit?  When things will go wrong in Kenya at least they will be able to blame it on their newly installed OS

Well done to the open source community!  Last edited by chrisbard; 10th October, 2012 at 12:02 PM. |
