Open Source is 'Not Reliable or Dependable'

Exter-C writes "News.com is reporting that Jonathan Murray, the vice president and chief technology officer of Microsoft Europe has made claims that 'some people want to use community-based software, and they get value out of sharing with other people in the community. Other people want the reliability and the dependability that comes from a commercial software model.'"

Re:SourceSafe vs CVS

[xtracto]

Because it is easy to setup?

And it is not really that slow and unreliable that for a lot of companies who preffer to run a setup wizzard instead of trying to figure out how to setup CVS or SV.

Just a week ago I tried to install CVS or subversion to make a Latex document repository, after reading the fucking manual and downloading this Explorer shell extension programs (dont remember their name) I got fed up and gave up, I supposedly made a repository directory and tried to create a new tree or whatever it is called but the darn shit just could not work.

No, I do not have the time to lose for that, I preffer software that *solves my problems* and not software that gets in my way
