"The UK is lagging in the use of open source, even though it is now established as the best way to produce and consume software, according to speakers at the Open Source Forum, sponsored by Red Hat and its partners, in London. Graham Taylor, director of industry body OpenForum Europe, said: "The UK is crap. It is the laggard in Europe in the use of open source." He put the blame not on any religious conviction but on poor business decisions, which had led to vendor lock-in, particularly among public bodies."
