after hearing the podcast, it appears to be about Brazil's change from Microsoft software, which they have to pay for, which Brazil has all ready paid 1 billion dollars to the Microsoft industry already, and in order to save the country money. Brazil has decided to change to open source, which is in a Linux system, and this is going to save the country billions of dollars in the future. having made the change from Microsoft software. I also learned from the podcast that it that Microsoft has 90 percent control over the software industry in the world. i think Brazil's change to open source is a good idea and more countries should do same. Microsoft has to much control over the software industry over the world. i like open source my self and hopefully in the future as Linux gets more user friendly it would be the dominant software used in the world. this way companies like Microsoft would have to lower their price in the products they sell. and make it more affordable to the lower income people to obtain Microsoft software if they choose it. unlike right now were we have to pay over a hundred dollars if we want to stay updated every time Microsoft creates a new software system. open source should already be the dominant software used all over the world.
