How to succeed Learning from his own mistakes, Holt offers this advice to IT shops who want to dump MS Office for non-Microsoft desktops: Remove the outgoing office suite and enforce usage of OpenOffice. "Once someone is used to it, they don't go back," Holt said. There has to be a "no-going-back policy." Talk about success stories to show that others have been able to make the change and like it. Relate the cost savings to company profitability and potential salary/benefit increases. "OpenOffice is now ready for the workstation, as is The GIMP," Holt said. He firmly believes that Linux should not be relegated to the back room. http://searchopensource.techtarget.com/columnItem/0,294698,sid39_gci1165420,00.html?track=NL-306&ad=563602&asrc=EM_USC_545783&uid=1461419 -- MickySoft, the ultimate corporate parasite. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
