Open Source Proves Friend to Communism

October 15th, 2007 · No Comments

Vietnam’s Communist Party has found an appropriate solution to its rampant software piracy problem: use open source.

More than 90% of all Vietnam’s software is counterfeit, leaving Microsoft, among others, with a massive dent in potential profits and making the software giant ramp up efforts to tackle piracy. But the Communist party has found its own neat solution, reported a local English news service, which will please everyone but Microsoft: ditch Microsoft Office and replace it with the free OpenOffice.
