The operating system in Brazil will soon change to linux due to the fact Microsoft is too expensive. Linux is another application but similar and does everything Microsoft can do.This is also due to the fact that the country itself is not rich. So has to make do with anything similar.
Open source software are programmes which are nearly the same as the original but cost less.
Anroid is seen as an open source because it is similar to the iPhone but doesn’t come with the applications.
Why are they cheaper if they do the same thing? How is it funded?
Other open sources include Open Office which is shares the exact same uses Microsoft word does. Once again its free, so some students use this because they can’t afford to buy the original copy.
Different open source programmes are being created but have to be done carefully so nothing is breached, unlike what happened two months ago for Ubertwitter. Ubertwitter were an OS for Twitter on smartphones but were banned after they broke the companys rules, there service was put on hold for over 48 hours and no one was able to tweet from their phones unless they downloaded the original Twitter app. ‘Twitter for Blackberry’. Eventually Ubertwitter were warned for their extension of characters and their over the limit of tweeting 140 charactars per tweet and had to Change their name as a brand to Ubersocial.
