         Japan may drop Windows to boost security (Forbes)
Forbes is carrying a Reuters article stating that the Japanese government is 
taking a hard look at switching over to Linux. "The Ministry of Public 
Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications will set up a panel of 
experts to study how other countries are using open source operating systems 
as early as the next fiscal year that starts next April, the paper said."
