Trouble With Open Source?

George Russell writes "Stephen J Marshall, writing in the BCS online magazine, provides a cogent argument detailing the ills of Open Source Software for the software industry - namely, the lack of conceptual integrity, professionalism, and innovation together with the issue of ownership of OSS developed under the current Intellectual Property laws. Do these issues concern you?"

You know what is really funny?

The fact that 80% of your comment is true and you don't even realise it.

Get out of your geek shell and see what the people really want. Cause guess what. That is what it is all about.

  I'll just make a simple question:

What did you eat today?

Only healthy food right? What? Sugar? Coke? Cake?

ARE YOU INSANE? Doctor say that that isn't healthy.

Just like geeks say Windows isn't "healthy" in a software kind of way. But you still eat those stuff because guess what. You want to.

  My mother want's colors. She likes the pictures in the User Selection screen. She even likes Clippy.

And this is what it is all about. What the people want.

Or are you saying that we should decide what the people want. Cause that would be kinda scary.
