Comment Tipping Point (Score 1) 566

The phrase tipping point or angle of repose is a sociological term that refers to that dramatic moment when something unique becomes common.

It is only a matter of time. If the open source community learns the critical lessons offered by the VHS/Betamax wars, the adoption histories of analog to digital sound and imaging, and the marketing stratagies of IBM & clones vs Apple, then the result is ordained.

If the open source community doesn't learn those lessons? Oh well....
