And a big kudos to Oregon for going with a Linux system. Taxpayers will surely like to hear they saved 30% on software costs. The 80 hours to re-write their software blew me away. That's like paying one guy for two weeks' work or 10 guys for ONE DAY! Either way, it's an impressive stat.

Now if Oregon takes a move like Mass. and adopts open formats for government documents, we'll really start to see a movement!! OOo 2 rocks - even though it's still beta.
