Why Open Source is not Magic Pixie Dust, Part 284
,----[ Quote ]
| The move was widely reported, and led to the ideas behind
| free software being introduced to many people for the
| first time. But the initial hopes of that announcement
| were not realised. Turning Netscape's Communicator program
| â the name used for the expanded version of Netscape
| Navigator, including extra functionality like email â into
| Mozilla, as the new code was baptised, proved much harder
| than expected.

| As well as being welcome, I think this is a shrewd move on Google's part. It is
| essentially raising the bar for all cloud computing providers. It is
| obviously pretty confident that it can supply good enough services for people
| to want to keep their data in them, even if they can remove stuff quite easily.
| The bet is probably that users will shy away from cloud computing providers who
| *don't* offer the same kind of pledges as Google. It will be interesting to see
| how the other major players respond.
