This site is for anyone who wishes to explore realistic alternatives to Microsoft software. Our aim is to provide accurate information about these alternatives and to provide a forum for discussing the costs and benefits of adopting a non-Microsoft solution to your software needs. We also try to provide news on industry and legal developments which may be relevant to anyone making decisions about deploying non-Microsoft software.
