Should the governments support Open Source?

There is an interesting discussion going on in the industry circles, should the governments support and adopt open source against microsft technologies. One might have read stories about Indian and Chinese governments interest in promoting open source technologies in their offices against microsoft and microsoft lobbying hard to get them into microsoft and even signing agreements with several governments and academics.

This indicates the public interest in adopting to open source and also growing feeling within Microsoft about the threat of open source technologies. As the public adopt more and more, open source is going to thrive and provide the same freedom as we have in news, media and speech.
