TOKYO (Reuters) - Computer giant Fujitsu Ltd said on Wednesday it, IBM
Japan Ltd and Oki Electric Industry Co have won a 188 million yen ($1.59
million) contract to design a Japanese government payroll computer system
using Linux.

The adoption of the Linux open-source operating system, which can be
obtained for free and copied or modified, would be a blow to Microsoft Corp,
which wanted the government to use its Windows system for the backbone
computer.
