I know, I don’t blog for ages, then all these great stories appear when I (finally) get a few minutes to write. And I know the title is a bit strong, but it’s damn interesting and makes for a great anti-microsoft story..

It appears that Cuba wants to get rid of all of it’s Windows software and replace it with an open source alternative - Linux. And the reason? To remove an American dependency. They no longer want the country’s IT infrastructure powered by microsoft and programs running on it written by American companies. Nearly 4,000 technicians have already been trained in the black-art of linux, whilst there are currently another 600 or so doing training in another province within the country. Does that mean Mark Shuttleworth will be pushing a Cubuntu distro? =) [SHOW ME]
