Open Source--Who's Buying this Stuff???

We love to kid our old friend Lance Walter for chucking the trappings and benefits of the big corporate world to go off and make the world safe for software in the world of open-source, but with an estimated 40 million users on the OpenOffice.org platform, it's really no laughing matter.

So kudos to Lance and his gang at Pentaho, the leader in Open Source BI (did we get that right Lancer?) on their big announcement that the Pentaho reporting suite will now be offered as part of the OpenOffice.org functionality.

OK, all this .org stuff is starting to creep us out, so we're going to head back into the land of capitalism and rigid class structures if that's OK with everyone...
