The article starts with the story that a US clothing chain store, Jay Jacobs, has chosen Linux over NT and other commercial OS's for it's new retail solutions system. The article then goes on to talk about OSS and M$ in general. OK, it's not a FreeBSD article, but at least it's good news about M$ losing out to OSS.
