French army sides with Mozilla in Microsoft email war (Reuters): "Reuters takes
a look at the use of Thunderbird by the French military. 'The
military found Mozilla's open source design permitted France to build
security extensions, while Microsoft's secret, proprietary software allowed
no tinkering. 'We started with a military project, but quickly generalized
it,' said Lieutenant-Colonel Frederic Suel of the Ministry of Defense and
one of those in charge of the project.' (Thanks to Philip Webb)"
