  Performance and Stability
• Low Power / Low Acoustic Noise (Compared to
  WINTEL Basis Products)
• Consumer Electronic Form Factor
• Easy UI Customization
• Multimedia Content Sharing to Wireless/Wired AV
  Clients
• Software/Application Upgradeable From
  Internet/Local Device

Rationales of Deploying OSS

• Reliability
• Collaborative results of global talents
• Increased security due to softwares transparency
  
• Controllability
• Less dependency on single dominant software
  vendor
• Version upgrade
• Assurance of functionability
• Lower Costs
• Development costs
• Licensing costs

The Challenges

• Diversified information sources
• Integration takes efforts
• Availability of skillful developers
• Software upgrade maintenance

Does OSS cost less?
It depends.

Standardization
The Free Standards Group

• Develops standards and tools
• Coordinates testing and certification programs
  that verify software compliance with existing
  standards
• Promotes the use of Linux

Domestic OSS Standards Body

• Builds up a collaborative interface among
  domestic OSS developers
• Eliminates the impacts of language barrier
• Saves developers efforts spent on information
  gathering
• Allows OSS developers to concentrating on
  developing, not testing nor integrating
