Russian market of opensource software will reach $200 million by 2010 comparing to less than 50 million in 2006, FINAM analysts say. Server software has the main impact on the market growth. Its share in opensource software sales may reach 50% soon and exceed the same figure in Europe and US. At the same time FINAM are not very optimistic about client software with open code. Linux market share among the operating systems is not more than 0,5%. Opensource applications for Windows along with Firefox, OpenOffice and Gimp are more popular - they run on 5-7% of PCs. And this figure would continue to increase with new copyright law restrictions.
