| I was going ask you for your take on what will be this year’s marketing trend 
| to boost sales. We have seen things like green computing and  virtualization 
| and the ever popular security (pick your favorite subtopic – USB data 
| slurping, laptop encryption, firewalls etc), or whether  Linux is for smart 
| people but I was talking with a couple of friends, both technical and end 
| user and ended up shaking my head.

F/OSS = mature enough to be shown publicly (code)

Proprietary = work in progress, messy code (c.f. Diebold for details)
