[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1102275, member: 96560"] I think the Windows world still haven't come to terms with the onset of open source. It has been how many years now since open source biz model appeared ? And still they don't innovate and want to milk consumers of their money. You innovate and create new products and come up with enterprise products that you can charge money for. And then you release a free version for cosumers and enterprise customers to try. Can't help people without brains, People will move to a free version where there is one available. Consumers will try the free version and buy it for their workplace. IBM and other mainframe companies have done that to universities and colleges for many many years. They were giving away not just software but hardware ! And enterprise versions are not that difficult to come up with; just add a central console and the ability to manage multiple copies of your software remotely. Just look at the many endpoint versions of AV for examples. [/QUOTE]
