Comment Warez (Score -1, Flamebait) 652

You have to admit that copyright infringement is a major problem that needs to be handled one way or another. Especially those streaming websites and torrent sites that make money off it. People have always looked badly at selling warez. Well this is the same thing, except it's indirect revenue via ads. It is still, however, making money with warez.

I agree. By far open source advocates have mostly attacked Microsoft and other software companies that produce closed source applications.

Where is FOSS answer for Visual Studio? There just isn't anything as good.

Where is open source games that beat the hell out of commercial games?
Where are the games like Call of Duty (a hugely popular game), Civilization V, Portal 2, World of Warcraft.. the list goes on and on.

And no, being open source alone isn't enough reason. The applications and games have to be better than their commercial competitors!

It looks like they're really making good progress. Windows 7, XBOX360, Windows Phone 7...All awesome products. It's good, since I really wouldn't want to live in a world dominated by Apple and Google.

I have to say I agree here. Lets see Bing for example. Live search was always worse than Google, but now they're really up to par, sometimes even better. While Google is spammed with all kinds of shitty websites, Bing is clean. Kudos to MS.
