Open Source Spreads Beyond Software

Posted by timothy on from the blueprints-have-open-source-beat dept.

B'Trey writes "Britain's Prospect Magazine is running an article entitled 'The Microsoft Killers.' The article covers the success of Open Source software in particular but also looks at how the methods and practices of Open Source are moving outside the software environment."

    I think you mean that the designs for different programs that run on Windows are uniform. those from MS itself are horribly inconsistent.

    Yet Another History Of Open Source Software Article

    Please don't take this as flaimbait, but ... this article tells me nothing new. Its a great one to pass on to my boss .. but come on.One more summary of the open source movement article and i'll puke.

    I mean no disrespect to the author. it was written very well. There is no News for Nerds here. I don't mean to be negative. I enjoy the community and most of the articles are really good. But I just can't take another ... history of open source software/anti microsoft article for the world to cut its teeth on.

    I'm sorry to sound critical but I wonder how many others here feel the same way.
