funny how a system with such a large userbase needs to fear mircosoft
while linux doesn't fear it.
i think that goes to show that as long as there is a small group
controlling the rights to the source, the while thing is vulnerable, and
only if you give the whole world the right to modify and distribute the
source you can not be bought or driven out, because any single person
with access to the source can legally resist.
