| A recent survey has demonstrated the growing strength of the overall market
| for Open Source Software in Europe. Conducted on behalf of Actuate
| Corporation, the survey is the latest in an annual series, and shows
| worldwide trends in the attitudes towards, and adoption rates of, OSS. For
| vendors in the sector the view portrayed looks reasonably good. Europe, in
| particular, is already a stronghold of its adoption, with Germany and France
| leading the way. In France, it is the preferred option or explicitly
| considered as an option in more than 61% of installations. In Germany, that
| rises to 63%.

Why Open Source is hot now?
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source software and solutions have a great opportunity to survive and
| benefit in this economy as they provide better returns for the companies that
| are looking to save huge licensing costs and greater availability of
| solutions and software that can be easily adopted.
|
| Open source software and solutions have matured over years and a bigger
| community to support them. There are several solutions from multiple vendors
| for business problems and substantially less expensive compared to commercial
| software from the proprietary software companies.
