Creative Destruction in the Software Industry

| It's fascinating to witness the phenomenon of people who created
| sizable chunks of the software industry coming back with open source
| or on-demand companies aimed at disrupting the very market segments
| they helped build.

| Alfreso has built up some momentum. Since posting its application on the
| SourceForge open source site a year ago, 350,000 people have downloaded it
| and the 30-person company has 200 paying customers, including the US branch
| of Japan's Daiwa bank and Virgin Money.
