“Exclusive: A legal dispute between Microsoft and an
open source company in Argentina raises questions about the
availability of desktop Linux in other countries, experts claim

“Microsoft is facing an ongoing legal challenge in Argentina
from an open source company which alleges the software giant used
its Windows Starter Edition to dominate the country’s
operating system market.

“Argentinian software company Pixart SRL launched the lawsuit in
September 2008 but the possibility of the case being heard has
become more likely in recent weeks, according to the
company’s lawyer Dr Uriel Blustein of Estudio Blustein &
Asociados.”
