Article in Australian IT today.

Apparently we're importing more that we're exporting.

Does anyone have any figures on how much M$ are helping the deficit each 
year in Australia?

Imagine the impact on the balance of trade and therefore the wealth of 
the nation if M$ was taken out of the equation.

Every time you install SAMBA/Linux for example at a site, you've 
contributed to Australia's bottom line.

Does this mean it's a patriotic duty to use open source?
