"Given Microsoft's long-standing fear of the effect that open source could
have on its dominance of the desktop market, some in the industry believe
that government bodies and private firms could find that "doing a Newham"
could dramatically cut their IT costs without involving a migration away
from Windows.

Others, though, claim that software vendors are more determined than ever
to lock customers into using their products, and that companies who don't
start moving to open source soon might never be able to do so."
