Open source models are thriving in CRM (SugarCRM), messaging (Scalix), and systems management (Zenoss). Datamation has identified ten leading commercial open-source innovators and the projects they are working on in their article, Ten Leading Open Source Innovators."

    And while we're at it, Apple isn't innovative. They just made a slick GUI and called it an iPod.

    You're kidding? Apple not innovative?

    What about spaces? Noone saw anything like that before,
    OS X? Noone put a GUI on Unix before!
    Tabbed Browsing? First Javascript debugger? I could go on & on.

    Apple are leaders - the rest of the industry follow ;-)

    Maybe I'm just old and cranky but I find this really annoying given that my own involvement with what is now called Open Source pre-dates Linux by 15 years.

    Is that you, Stallman ?
