I like this one. Earlier, we've had proprietary solutions, from
a variety of vendors (including, but not limited, to a certain
corporation based in Redmond), which weren't based on Linux.
Then, we've (allegedly) had proprietary solutions, from another
host of vendors, which were based Linux.
Now, they say that we're going to have proprietary solutions
which aren't based on Linux once again.
Doesn't it seem like a complete disaster for those of us who
/love/ to tinker much more than to play new shiny toys, or do
our respective full time jobs?
