With the amount of money corporations and governments have spent on Microsoft — the last decade alone — they could have filled the gaps in linux and the annual cost for ITSM would be significantly cheaper. Instead they've spent more and have grown far more dependent on proprietary software, they don't own or control, to manage their core business ops and data; the longer their dependence on SaaS, the more they'll pay.

Yep, Imagine how good the software would be oif we had all the governments and enterprise paying into open source instead of Microsofts pocket.

Can you imagine a world where public money was only spent for the public good? What a world!
