I totally agree... OS has it place. But it is not the holy grail that is often preached.
Most business's could probably use OS software somewhere in there business. But should all business's run 100% on it at the moment? Hell no. Reliance on any one product is bad business. It's all just tools of the trade, and in the end as long I can make money from it I don't care whether its open source, closed source or tomato sauce.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Remie Bolte [mailto:asplist@;vinrem.nl] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 11:03 AM To: ActiveServerPages Subject: Re: For Your Reading Enjoyment 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)? regards remie bolte ----- Original Message ----- From: "15Seconds Editor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ActiveServerPages" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 5:41 PM Subject: For Your Reading Enjoyment > Someone in Israel's government wants to make gov't agencies open > source only hoping to get the rest of the country to shift: > > http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2002-10-17-013-26-NW-LL-PB > > --- > You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% > --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
