collaborative workloads including procurement, installation,
administration, support, and more. Read the IDC whitepaper.

Judiciary Committee on December 12 regarding the federal antitrust
case against Microsoft. Szulik asserted that Microsoft's illegal,
anti-competitive practices had "seriously warped" the technology
industry, "stifling innovation" to the detriment of the
technology industry and to society as a whole.

In UTB Contest 27, we asked you to take a look
at this image
and tell us what you saw after we planted the subject "A world without
Microsoft" in your mind. While in a contest like this everyone's a
winner, the following three entries stood out.
Honorable mention #1 goes to Joe in Hawaii who had this vision:
"I see a world where all sides are equal. The two halves harmoniously
compliment each other. There are small beginnings that grow to larger
and larger entities that gracefully join with all parties, but
throughout there is symmetry, openness, and peace. It's a black and
white world with no deceit."
Yeah, Joe, we saw that, too. Getting a bit too much sun over there in
Hawaii, are you?
Honorable mention #2 goes to Scott in Australia, who gets the award for
aimless mental wandering. He submitted this entry. What it has to do
with the subject is anybody's guess.
"I see two Australian Unicorns drinking stubbies (small bottles of beer)
and having a yarn ... of course they may actually be boxing but at times
that is hard to distinguish in the bars that I have been to as
well!!!!!!"
And this month's winning entry, from Carl L., whose poetic
interpretation shook the very foundations of our world (or something
like that):
"Unhinged shackles - fetters free
Chains asunder - room to breathe
Shadows vanquished - high noon bright
N'er again the MS night!"
Thanks to everyone who participated, and congratulations, Carl!

As you learned above, IDC recently published a new Linux Total Cost of
Ownership study. Just as we've suspected all along, it shows remarkable
savings customers find when they move to Linux.
In honor of this new study, we'd like to challenge you to send us
stories of your own Red Hat Linux "saves". Send us your story, 100
words or less. The story that best demonstrates one of the following
savings superlatives wins a brand spanking new copy of Red Hat
Linux 7.2.
1. Most money saved using Red Hat Linux
2. Most time saved using Red Hat Linux
3. Greatest save of sanity by using Red Hat Linux
Send your entries to feedback@redhat.com and make sure to mention the
category you are entering when you send your story. If you don't mind,
include your physical location (country/state/city/whatever). As always,
if you don't want to see your name or location in the newsletter, say
so.
