Just a note IBM never wanted the PC business....it was started by a group within IBM..which was quickly eliminated....
Regarding "Open Source" the only person that believes they win is the buyer....well at least until they start looking for support or enhancements....all the big players that have "Open Source" as their corporate strategy have all learned that they must charge for something.....so they create development tools that are suppose to help deal with the "Open Source" environment .....
It absolutely amazing how many software programmers work on "Open Source" stuff....I suspect most do it on their own time while working for someone else....just think..."How does someone support themselves, if everything they create is free?" |
