Anonymous Coward writes "Korea has now taken the plunge on the Linux operating system, and is now starting to advocate Linux for use in government and public sector applications. South Korea's Ministry of Information and Communications announced the move today, which will result in decreased Microsoft market share in the region." According to the article, Korea's Ministry of Information and Communication "will provide a total of 3 billion won (US$2.95 million) for government agencies which want to use the Linux and other open-source computer programs this year."韩国政府已经开始大力支持 Linux 及开源了，不知道中国什么时候才会有这种远见卓识……去年年末还因为北京政府采购失意事件闹得沸沸扬扬，虽然政府这方面支持力度不够，但国产软件也要争气才行呀，总之，各打五十大板！！要想发展，肯定不能让 M$ 牵着鼻子走，不管当前国产软件现状如何，政府还是需要加大支持力度的。
