I have to agree with this. Linux is great, but it will never beat out MS, or have the desktop usages that we al want without paying for some software.
The linux community needs to buy software, however since we are an open source community we don't need to buy "crappy" software. We have to use the open source nature and good code and enforce that on commercial code. If we like it, and IT WORKS then pay for it. But don't pay for it because it's the only option.
