because it is open it is inherentaly eaiser to create compatible products; an end that many bussiness modles have gone to great legenths to aviod (itunes, *wmv, et al.)
I also wonder how things like "experation dates" and such will be able to be implemted. I was under the impression that under linux (and bsd as well?) applications put complete trust in the time and date held by the kernel?If this grand vision is to work how will it be sold to companies?

I spent 3 hours (1 to 4am in true hacker fashion) instaling (trying to install) winXP on a PII because thats what my 12 year old brother wanted to use... At 4am, after spening way to much time toying with settings i said fuck it and threw fedoracore3 on it. It instaled in an hour and had all the updates finished in the next thirty minutes. I even had time to find breakfast before telling him that gaim is *new improved* version of aim...i dont think he'll never know
and plus i cant even cout all of the hours i WONT have to spend troubleshooting the damn thing
