[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 859095"] Not denying that there aren't any benefits, but it still remains the fact that when people hear open source, the first thing that comes to a lot of people's mind is the word free. It is quite funny and ironic TBH. The company they are hating on, is the one that is supporting them the most. Personally I don't think they even know anymore who they are competing with. I think they like to hate on MS, because that the cool thing to do. I still think they would be better off working together, rather than someone just going their own way and doing their own thing, which seems to be the norm with Linux. Agreed, To be fair, I never said it was the sole reason, I said it was one of the reasons which is true. Linux is way too diluted to even make sense of it all. Instead of working together, they all decide to do their own thing. Why is it that the first question that someone asks when switching to Linux is which distro do I use? There are many reasons as to why Linux never made it big time, but the fact that there are too many distros to count on two hands is a problem IMHO. Well business is business that's what's this is all about. If it wasn't MS, it would be someone else. Playing devils advocate here, but to be brutally honest (not saying this is right by any means), it seems like MS is beating them at their own game. They want source code that anyone can use and redistribute, check, don't have to pay for the source code, check, etc.... FOSS wanted this utopia for software, it will never happen when business and money is involved. Like I said earlier, if it wasn't MS, it would be someone else. That's just how business works.
