It's like talking about "Chiquita(TM) bananas are better than non Chiquita(TM) bananas"!
Maybe a bad example... all I want to say is that I don't give a f***k whether something is original or not! Anyway... it depends on what you define as original, commercial or non commercial.
Sorry, but this discussion leads us to nowhere... When I find something free to play, modify(is Singularity modifiable? I don't know, but it sounds interesting), educational, maybe constructive for taking some ideas for own projects, then I spend a bit of my time on it. For my part... I'll take a look into singularity. If I like it, I'll continue playing with it. If not, then I'll ignore it.
Liking or disliking was and is a matter of taste. Does anybody know if he/she likes something without trying it first?
I don't think the first hackers considered about from who a product came from... It was the passion of creating and modifying things in another usable creative way.
Discussions were really about technology... not about flaming somebody else's work. If I don't like something, I just give a constructive comment and then I ignore it. In case it gets better, *then* maybe I'd touch it again.
I'm programming and playing around with linux or other unix derivates (because I like it... I love it... *yeah*)... At work I'm (unfortunately) programming in.NET.
Managed or not... Micro$oft or Open Source or any other thing depending on how you name it... Everything has positive and negative sides.
Just take the best of everything and give the world something better.
No... I'm not a religion guy who separates the good from the evil! *lol*
It's just my opinion...

P.S. Dammed my first post in here (and almost off topic)... maybe it's a stupid reply, but I had to get rid of this! Oh... and sorry about my english.... I'm not a native english speaker.

Who cares if something is "Open Source" or not?
.NET.
