“Integrated Neurology Service SINEURO’s office, located in
São Paulo, Brazil, migrated from various versions of Windows
(from 98 to XP) on a network of five computers with eight

software can be found in big and small companies alike. Because
Linux is free, it can provide an alternative to commonly pirated
Windows software…”
