Subject: Is it time yet?
Can we rehash the reasons why we (the US? VT? Small Biz in VT?) are not ready
for Linux or open source? C'mon we haven't gone over this for a while and
thing have changed right?
I for one am doing my bit: biggest city in VT is running Drupal for their
main website. That's a start of sorts.
C'mon, I'm listening to this on the radio thinking of the ad I can run:
"Ready for the next big Windows vulnerability?", "Isn't it time you
considered the system that doesn't barf?", "Run secure and solid like the US
Army and Navy: Go Linux".
You get the gist. See also

and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_adopters.
Note this wannacry shit continues live as we speak. See it in action via the
marvels of the internet: https://intel.malwaretech.com/WannaCrypt.html.
