well we've posted some threads about MS's battles herea and potential future in Korea...this is certainly a big blow...
The Korean government plans to pick Kwangju this month as the nation's first "Linux City," where open-source software will become the mainstream programs...expected to start the migration as soon as next month.
Take THAT MS!
Again, its the government is making the push... but we are starting to see some real results.
Together with Linux City, the government will also choose a ``Linux University,'' another test bed for the emerging software that is an alternative to the proprietary Microsoft Windows
Linux U! woot! lol
It will be interesting in the long-run how this affects...if it does... the internet world out here. As I've said...its about 99.9% (100% on my sites) IE usage here with tons of active deeply ingrained into many "must" sites and services.
well...at least on the OS side of things....
Linux seems to really picking up steam. Thing can change in an instant (like if the minister changes or something)...
but for now... MS seems to be taking a lot of hits out here.

pluggin away in the trenches of the Korean Internet Business World. ^^
It will be interesting to see whether Kwangju follows through and whether it is a successful implementation. That's got to be difficult in a country like Korea where, as you've told us, a lot of the Internet sites rely on ActiveX and the IE browser.
