Stefan,
Concerning your question about the use of free
software by corporations.
This entry here, at
http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Open_Source_Software,
points to an economic analysis of why it is of
interest to corporations.
Here's an interesting entry by Douglas Rushkoff who
predicts 2008 will be the year of end-user adoption of
the desktop linux modules, because 'vista sucks'
at

Interestingly, it seems people of the right use more
free software than people of the left, see

Hope these snippets are of interest,
Michel
