South Korea is giving a stupid excuse to switch to linux.

South Korea is a developed and rich nation, unlike some developing countries.  Therefore, South Korea is switching to Linux because of security risks posed by Microsoft (MS).  Coincidentally, SK is dumping MS after our posting about MS security risk.  The IT cost is never a concern to SK because it pays a lot more to keep US forces in the country.

SK just doesn't want to be held hostage by the US and give the NSA & FBI unbridled access to the sensitive intelligence through MS.
