Successful Linux Japan Symposium (picture)

If some of you didn't knew yet, Linux is a tremendous success in a large list of countries placed in Asia and Latin America. Some of them already have GNU/Linux as official OS for their governments as some countries in Europe.

After Microsoft administrative heads attempted to boycott the Linux Japan Symposium by launching the controverted Windows 7 the same day, Linus Torvalds gave a middle finger to the initiative in his own peculiar way.

A picture for the prosperity if you agree with me!

The symposium was a big success as most participants tell us. Linux is conquering natural places in Industry, embedded hardware and what not. Windows 7, the latest bells and whistles from MS, has yet to prove usability beyond its novel name.

New laptops are launched this days with this OS whilst Linux community keeps growing in places that the failure of Windows Vista opened besides its own market niches.

For the eager Linux zealots, we post further readings and more pictures of the event...
