RE: Open-source
Open Source is to software what Socialism is to politics. Everyone owns/ has acccess to it and adds what they can merely for the benefit of the community. It represents the future of software, Superdistribution. Revenue for open source comes from custom development/ implementation/ support rather than from initial sales. I use Mozilla, the open source version of Netscape, for browser. We have a red hat server operation in house for custom mysql database we are developing internally. I use Staroffice on my workstation.
It is time to end Microsoft's strangle hold on the software industry. Their model of overpriced but poorly written code that you use, but DO NOT OWN needs to be kicked to the curb. To charge tech support to be told you have to BUY patches to fix THEIR problems! To have them strangle GOOD software and force companies out of biz. When things like Outlook is such crap!
The only thing holding Linux type OS back is applications. Openoffice is OK, but not there yet. Full compatibility with .doc files is a market issue. Once these issues get resolved, hello open source!
