This is a cool article. Microsoft, being a household name, is recognized to even the no tech savvy person. Most open source technologies are only studied by people who have a genuine interest in getting hands on. I feel that until Linux, and other open source technologies, breaks into the everyday life of non-technical people; it will just stay under the radar. But bringing it to a church setting and showing the abilities to save money on a large scale is a great idea. If everyone brought open source technology to their religious institute the word of mouth could sky-rocket many sources into popularity, make local/national news, news papers, and of course the Internet. Follow the link to a cool and new interesting way to save a church some money.
