Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has ordered his country to begin switching from closed-source operating systems, like Windows, to open-source ones like Linux. He has given the country's infrastructure managers until 2015 to complete this transition.
In addition he wants to create a national repository of open-source software, similar to Apple's App Store. Russia’s move to divorce its IT infrastructure from relying upon an American company’s operating system seems like another small step away from relying upon America. [Geek]
