This is the kind of lobbying we see everywhere OSS is adopted.

The channel in the US has successfully made the switch to OSS and Linux. In some cases they're making more money and doing higher quality work.

Why do such organizations protest: M-O-N-E-Y!!!! from you know who.

BTW - WHO is THE INITIATIVE FOR SOFTWARE CHOICE? you know who.

And what choice do they offer - one once - Microsoft. Everyone else has gone the OSS route.

"Any decline in government spending would have ripple effects on the economy that might be two to three times greater than the initial direct effect," said ISC"

Whose economy? Redmond's?

It seems to me that less money sent to M$ (they already have too much) would be more money to spend locally.
