Problem is here, we're asking a bit much. Asking capitalists not to be capitalists is like fish not to be fish. Even if they'd LIKE to, the economy states that if they're NOT capitalists, they're your average, every-day geek, just like everyone else. Sure, without capitalism, you get free Linux (and we're not complaining, I'm sure) but you also get slave wages (comparatively). Oh yeah. and bye-bye BMW.
MS is going to be MS, pharm. companies are going to be pharm. companies.. and the Open Source types are going to make sure the other Open Source types are kept safe. I'm sorry the MotherGates has 240bil in his wallet - but unlike him, your computer works when you tell it to. Thanks to your fellow man.
Stop asking for miracles - God's not playing dice, and all. We don't need a better Microsoft, and we don't need a better Pharmaceutical company. We need better programmers, and better genetic engineers (and the like). And I hate to break it to you - we've got some pretty incredible programmers here in Open Source land. Have you SEEN FreeBSD recently?
