If we're talking about bug-free new features, customer support and documentation yes my experience is much better with "closed-sourced" commercial products. As already said before, I admit that there are (many) exceptions to that rule. That's why I'm using FreeBSD, Apache, Postfix and of course pmwiki. > How many years was it until Microsoft Vista was released? Are all of > the promised features present? Does Vista have any unfixed bugs in it? First I don't like Vista but that's not the case. However, I wouldn't compare an OS with tens of millions lines of c/asm code with simple opensource projects. Btw Vista was developed in less time than Perl6, linux kernel v2, xWin X11 etc... > Some features just take a while to develop properly... this is true > regardless of whether a product is open source or closed source, if it's > being developed by volunteers or paid employees, and whether it's > available without cost or purchased. Agreed. Athan _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
