| government agencies but in the whole of society as well. The 
| purchase of Microsoft software copyright will help promote
| the wider use of open source software. If using illegal

Open-source software offers affordable option

,----[ Quote ]
| Reducing the widespread use of pirated software in Viet Nam will be
| an uphill struggle because of the high costs of legal software
| products, according to industry experts.
