Basically what the title asks. I am curious whether Ubuntu Linux will be used in the IT systems for 2010 FIFA World Cup. Anybody knows?

Would it make any difference if they did? Football will still be boring.

Without a doubt!

But whoever provides the technological platform for them gets an immense showcase, with a total audience in the hundreds of millions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup#Media_coverage).
