What if microsoft were to go Open Source?
,----[ Quote ]
| The microsoft programs would be ported to run on more
| architectures and processors. There would be native versions of
| msoffice, visio, etc. running on Linux, BSD, Solaris and MacOS. I
| also think that microsofts programs would get a thorough going
| over with a fine toothed comb and become more efficient with many
| bugs and security problems being fixed. There would also be
| faster and more timely patches being released resulting in less
| zero day exploits.

Recession and the Victory of FOSS
,----[ Quote ]
| The interesting side effect of that was the sudden realizations by these
| companies and individuals such as âWow, FOSS is actually better!â or âWow,
| and we get all this for free?â And what's even more interesting is how not
| only are these companies not going back to previous proprietary solutions,
| they're actually telling their friends and fellow businesses about FOSS.
|
| And all it took was a simple recession to finally give FOSS and Linux the
| kick in the pants it needed. And if you don't believe me, look at how
| Microsoft is taking hit after hit after hit against it's empire. If we were
| in an economic boom, that wouldn't be happening. But since we're not, it is.

If open source has won, then where do we go from here?
,----[ Quote ]
| Supporters of open source are fond of quoting Mohandas Gandhi: âFirst they
| ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.â Did
| he happen to say what happened after that?
