Ever notice how every come claims to the wonders of open source

Until they need to make money.

OS is good for non-commericial uses.  But when it comes to business OS
can and always will be left in the dust.

Ever hear of Zend?  It's a PHP optomizatin engine (etc.).  The makers
and supports of PHP have always yelled and screamed that OS is the only
way to go.  But then Zend was released, and everyone shut up.

What about Suns' Solaris OS?  Every see a full download of the source?

The list goes on...

What a joke.

mmm
i still don't want to burn my fingers in that discussion.
open source software is great and i can only be in favor...
but what about the freedom of choice...

btw... i once downloaded redhat linux 6.0 from their ftp-server for
free... Yet i can't find it no more. has redhat gone the same way as M$,
trying to make a profit from their product... If so, isn't the desire to
make a profit going to cross with the ideals of free open source
software (which is against multinational domination)?
