A great open-source programming environment that runs everywhere and can do anything ... fast.

An open operating system (one of many Linux flavors) where innovation is driven by usefulness rather than profits. Developers assume users have brains and know what they want to do. Users help one another for all the right reasons.

An outstanding open-source office suite that provides useful tools for writing, presentations, and data manipulation. New versions provide additional worthwhile features at no cost (as opposed to new versions that require addition cost and provide no worthwhile new features).
