Commercial open source CRM providers have established their presence in the CRM market in relatively short order, with at least four companies — Sugar CRM, Ohioedge Anteil, Compiere — setting up shop over the last year.

Their sudden popularity is understandable. By building their own applications, users can customize a CRM application exactly as they would like, and at the same time they get to avoid the steep maintenance and fees associated with licensed software.

Sooner or later competing vendors — a group that includes hosted software providers and traditional on-premise software companies — will begin to feel the bite of the new competition. Gartner research analyst Wendy Close told CRM Daily, for example, that she believes the existence of open-source CRM vendors will keep the hosted CRM vendors’ subscription fees down over the next five years.

“Market awareness of open source CRM is definitely taking off, she tells NewsFactor.

A comprehensiveWindows-to-Linux Migration Guide, exploring the technical, commercial and social costs of major migration projects, has been released by the German Ministry of Interior Affairs.

Based in part on the experiences of the City of Munich, and its announced plans to move away from Microsoft Windows to the Linux open source system, the guide describes the number and diversity of solutions encountered, defines important selection criteria, such as size, intensity of IT use and degree of “specialization” of public agencies, as well as product comparisons and TCO studies.

Linux Gazette has links to the document in English and German, which can also be found at:

自1976年进入现代桌面计算时代以来，软件正逐步取代硬件成为现代计算的核心。在此期间，有无数款优秀的软件产品诞生，并从而改变了人们的计算方式和日常生活。本周，《PC Magazine》评出了近30年以来的10款最佳软件产品。他们其中或者是有过最辉煌的历史，或者是最具创新性。

第十名：Microsoft BASIC(1976推出)

这是微软公司开发的一款真正具有创新意义的软件程序。与竞争对手的同类产品不同，这是全世界第一款独立封装的程序语言(boxed programming languages)，它刺激了现代编成时代的到来，并引入了¡°拆封授权(拆封授权条款是指软件开发商就其所出售的软件产品限制消费者仅能在一定的授权范围内使用)¡±这一语言概念。

If someone asked you to name the best car on the market, you’d probably tell them the answer depends on who will use the car. After all, a family of eight living in Manhattan probably needs a different type of vehicle from a single hacker living in rural North Dakota. The same is true for programming languages and development toolkits. Each has its place and is appropriate for solving different sorts of problems.

Although this might seem obvious, many programmers believe the language or toolkit they use is so good it should be used to solve all problems, all of the time. As the old saying goes, if your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. No programming language is the best fit for all problems, which is why experienced programmers know and use a variety of languages and constantly are learning new ones.

Make Mine Large
The wash from a large project can drown reputations and careers. Have you got the courage to swim with the big fish?
by William Knight

Posted June 9, 2004

“Dream big, work hard, and good things will happen,” the saying goes, but it seems that for software projects big dreams often turn to nightmares. Despite today’s catchphrase of small dreams more often, sometimes businesses have no choice but to build huge project teams that create a wake like a supertanker in a gully. It’s easy to get washed up in the surf.
