Can Open Source Save Hardware?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the envelopes-that-need-pushing dept.

Culexus writes "Tom's Hardware has a interesting story about Open Source saving the hardware industry. Pretty good read all in all. Hopefully chip makers and vendors won't have to bend to the iron might of Microsoft any longer." Some good comments on how early-adopters and enthusiasts are being marginalized by the industry, too.

    If only we could "open source" women.

    They tend to crash/nag/cry/pester alot for unknown reasons. If the source was available, I'm sure some geek would write a patch as soon as a problem occured.

    Sigh...if only life was that easy
