Tightening purse strings will turn many businesses on to Open Source Software
,----[ Quote ]
| In January, Adobe announced 600 redundancies, citing weaker-than-expected
| demand for its Creative Suite 4. While it may be that the credit crunch has
| stopped existing users upgrading or new users from buying, I think we may be
| seeing the software bubble about to burst.
|
| The software bubble occurs when software suppliers that continually introduce
| new versions find customers choose not to upgrade. Most suppliers are in a
| similar situation. Microsoft has found that many Windows users are happy to
| stick with earlier versions of Windows such as XP instead of moving to Vista.

Small firms can benefit from open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Ahead of the first-ever Open Source Software (OSS) BarCamp event, which will
| take place on 28 March in Dublin, chief-organiser Laura Czajkowski has said
| that small-to-medium businesses have much to gain from open source, even if
| it is just to realise that there are alternatives out there.
|
| “Most businesses won’t even have heard of open-source software in a context
| they think applies to them, and think that Microsoft is really all there is.

Red Hat profit rises, bucks tech industry trend
,----[ Quote ]
| Software company Red Hat Inc (RHT.N) reported a modest jump in quarterly
| profit, bucking an industry trend of declining earnings, thanks to a reliable
| business model through which it books sales over multiple years.

|
| The company, whose rivals include Novell Inc (NOVL.O) and Microsoft Corp
| (MSFT.O), sells upgrades, help-desk support and bug fixes for Linux software.
| It has weathered the recession better than computer makers and many software
| companies because Red Hat customers buy its service in subscriptions over the
| course of several years, giving it a predictable revenue stream.
