What I meant is being open source is better than being proprietary, but yes
when I read your post, I have to agree
with you, neither one is good. Free software is the best case scenario.
Although, Google as much as I dislike some
of their stances, you can at least reverse engineer their crap more easily.
microsoft not so easily!
But to be completely honest, That doesn't change the fact that all
proprietary software is horrible whether it has
open source elements or not. Because open source is not as good as free
software. They share a few similarities
but
not enough of the critical ones are shared. Because open source doesn't bring
freedom to mind. Stallman does say
that after all.
On an unrelated note though, is there any free software alternative to skype
that can generate a phone number
which you can use to call people with?
