[Governments like open-source software, but Microsoft does not]

Japan said it would collaborate with China and South Korea
to develop open-source alternatives to Microsoft's software.
Japan has already allocated \1 billion ($9m) to the project.

Modern governments generate a vast number of digital files.
From birth certificates and tax returns to criminal DNA records,
the documents must be retrievable in perpetuity.
So governments are reluctant to store official records
in the proprietary formats of commercial-software vendors.

In Microsoft's case, security flaws in its software,
such as those exploited by the recent Blaster and SoBig viruses,
are also a cause of increasing concern.
