FON is Dropping Microsoft, Adopting Ubuntu

Martin Varsavsky, Founder and CEO of Fon, just send out the memo to all Fon employees:

As of today Fon will disengage from Microsoft and adopt Linux in the Ubuntu form as our operating system of choice.

I would like to ask all Foneros to pls migrate to Ubuntu at your earliest convenience. As of next week Fon will not buy any more Microsoft licenses, nor install, service any new Microsoft programs on any existing computers. All the software we use will be Open Source unless a certain package we need is not easily available in Open Source format.

I've been playing with Ubuntu for quite a while now as well, and at this point, the next step for Google looks pretty clear to me... Goobuntu For The Masses. Well, maybe after the Microhoo merger

I've been using Ubuntu since just before Edgy. I'm Lovin' It!™ and It's FREE, also as far as 90% of Windows users (!US) are concerned its free as well...
