And the thing I like is that TB runs on both Windows and Linux. I've got two boxes, both dual boot, and all four configs are set up to access the same mail store. And in TB 2.0, check out the gmail option. Very nifty. > I would be interested to know how Mozilla can produce great products > that work without the all of the controls to keep people from stealing them? Well, we've been through this a hundred times. Ever build anything and send it out into the community for free/fun? Some people watch Packer games. Some people lead week-long trips into the wilderness with their Scout troop. Some people organize bake sales for their local church. Some people write software. Once you get past the immediate requirements of shelter, food, sex, safety... people want to belong to a community and contribute. Being part of the Mozilla organization, or the Apache group, or the Drupal folks, whether it be slinging C code, doing testing, writing doc... The reason these products work is that these organizations are a meritocracy. No (well, fairly little) political nonsense. You write good code, you get better projects and more interesting/tougher pieces. You write crap, you go to work for a company where you can BS your way through your job.
