Another Reason Open Source is Better: No Abandonware
,----[ Quote ]
| This is extraordinary: it means that Windows 2000 becomes abandonware â no
| longer fully supported by its manufacturer, and left with a critical security
| flaw that makes it pretty much unusable in many circumstances.
|
| Contrast this with open source. Even if a company providing support for
| GNU/Linux decided not to provide a patch for an old version, end-users always
| have the option of writing one themselves, or paying a third-party to do it.

| Doesnât that ever happen to you? Not particularly with your operating system
| because you know, thatâs geeky as all Hell. But say you always bought from
| the same brand of shoes. They were great, and did everything you asked them
| to do for you. But after so many years, damn! Donât you wanna try something
| new? See whatâs out there?
|
| Iâve been fighting with the want to use Ubuntu for like three years now. Not
| just use Ubuntu, but make it my primary OS of choice. For the last few years
| Iâve fiddled with it, put it on a separate partition, or a virtual machine.
