The open source movement and the dot.com boom of the late 1990s coincided, resulting in the popularity of Linux and the evolution of many open source friendly companies such as Corel (Corel Linux), Sun Microsystems (OpenOffice.org) and IBM (OpenAFS). In the early 21st century when the dot.com crash was at its peak, open source was in a prime position as a viable alternative to expensive proprietary software. Its momentum has strengthened since with the availability of many easy to use applications.

开放源码运动和 1990 年代末的 dot.com(互联网) 的兴起一起，导致了 Linux 的流行和很多支持开源的公司，如Corel (Corel Linux)、Sun Microsystems (OpenOffice.org)、 IBM (OpenAFS) 等的变革。在 21世纪初，当 dot.com 在顶峰时崩溃时(互联网泡沫破碎)，开源软件作为昂贵的专有软件的可行替换品被摆到一个重要的位置上。大量易用应用程序的出现更加巩固了它的发展力量。
