  1. Re:The Soviet Model on Microsoft's Strategy Memos · · Score: 1
    Oh yes, the famous Soviet model that seduced so many intellectuals for so long. Centralized leadership with a 'beloved leader,' a command economy, ideas controlled and dictated from the top, enormous resources expended to achieve a result that is bloated, inefficient and bureaucratic. A free and democratic system that respects and trusts individuals will beat the Soviet model every time.
    Well, before you go too far, Linus is the beloved leader of Linux, and wields pretty central authority over kernel development. The success of FOSS has less to do with its distributed nature and more to do with its openness (anyone can improve, anyone can contribute). Most successful OSS projects have a centralized development core.
