I am reposting a comment by deep (since it is the same what I wanted to convey) - http://brainstorms.in/?p=240#comment-1595
I started using Free software right from the days it started being used and as early as one could afford to buy a SIVA PC ! That was in 1994!! Even today we dont have a professional sound recording software that can compete the efficiancy of Protools (On MAC) or Nuendo (On Windows). This is year 2008!! We have had 14 years of free software and still this has not happened. We have still got only self built drivers for most of the professional audio cards. When free software was passion for us in 1994 today it has just become a fashionable word! I want my work done. I have waited for 14 years. When windows came in 1994 it was said to be unstable and stupid for multimedia. Mac ruled supreme. Today windows XP is stable and it has overtaken the mac in many multimedia applications. And what has become of mac? It now runs on intel platform!!! Siftware is not an area for fanatism or blind faith. We have to acknowledge this fact. Free software is not the holy grail. Take the good things it has to offer and acknowledge the good that propreitary software has to offer. Use both as needed. Stop this hyprocrisy. When u use propreitary software have the spine to acknowledge it. It’s like going to a prostitute in the night with a mask on your face and then giving a lecture in public against it during the day!!! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
