The state theory of software




>From an article in "The Economist":
"...when a government opts for a particular technology, the citizens and businesses that deal with it often have to fall into line. (In one notable example, America's defence department adopted the internet protocol as its networking standard, forcing contractors to use it, which in turn created a large market for internet-compliant products.) No wonder Microsoft feels threatened?the marriage of open-source software and government could be its Achilles heel."
