"A Massachusetts Soliloquy"

One of Pamela Jones readers has been getting all poetic about the Massachusetts decision to switch to open source software:

To read, or not to read, that is the question,
Whether tis nobler of the IT departmente to suffer
The lost documents and man-houres of outragious proprietary formats,
Or to take Armes against a monopoleye of FUDsteres,
And by opposing, restrain them, to open to compete

No more, and by a standarde, to say we end
The conversiones, and the thousand read/write errors
That archiving is heire to; tis a consumation
Devoutly to be wisht to open to compete...

There's more and it's all well worth a read.
