Well if they plan on using Harrison Ford (and who else could be Indy!!) then i think it might be better if they splice together some old shots of him, cos he aint a spring chicken anymore! Therefore im nominating...

I find it interesting that Mr Mundie suggests that there is yet to be a company with a succesful business model that releases most of their products under GPL or similar licence. There seems to me to be numerous companies that have such a business model, two that jump to mind particularly are RedHat and the Apache group.
Redhat may not command the same capital as microsoft but this is not really the only way to judge a business model, redhat is a company that have taken an opensource product and used it as the key to their business. The revenue comes from auxiliries such and training and support.
Apache also have a similar 'open' approch to business and their webserver is the most tried and tested webserver in exsitence, they also create some of the most widely used development tools around.
Also i dont really believe that commercial products and open source product are mutully exclusive, it seems to me that the way the market exists currently that most of the revenue from software sales from commercial companies comes from sales to other commercial companies, open source benefits the computer user community on the whole in general, Microsoft corp are an obvious exception to this rule as are a few others, perhaps Mr Mundie is not considering the overal market and more Microsofts hold on the market!
I think im gonna run down to the local patenting office and take out a patent on gravity. The sue everyone that sticks to the ground...
and think of the money that could be made outa the strong and weak nuclear forces *ching ching*

"It will retail for $1,999" And the linux only version is $2500!
Keep trying, someday, something you say may actually make sense!
Fit one to a bean bag? I wouldnt do my coding from anywhere else!
