| The Prius hybrid car is great news for our planet: As much as it can,
| it runs on electricity and is thereby a signatory of the Kyoto treaty.
| But never does it stop - if there is no electricity, it will run on
| regular fuel. That's a great car for serving both the planet and
| it inhabitants at the same time.

| Traditional software vendors need to recognize the shift taking place
| is driven not only by successful open source projects, but also by the 
| rapid and broad adoption of open source in the customer marketplace. The 
| numbers behind open source adoption are compelling. Linux in both the 
| United States and Asia is the fastest growing operating system ever. As 
| measured by hostnames, Netcraft reports that the Internet has grown 26.1 
| percent over the past 12 months, over 67 percent of it served up by open 
| source Apache servers.
