Telecom Asia has a short report about the possibility of the Japanese government replacing Windoze with an open source operating system (read: Linux). It would be very exciting to see Japan, one of the leading technology producing contries in the world, switch to Linux. I find it amazing that my favorite OS has come so far in such a short time.

This WIRED article covers a report by Brit firm mi2g. The report insinuates that cyber-terrorism is bogus (which I happen to agree with) and cites a decrease in intrusions of government systems as proof. Noah Shachtman (the article's author) uses quotes from a couple of big cheeses in the security community to back up the reports questionable outcome. Not really an important story, but it does link in nicely with my previous blurb!
