Very true! The Open Source movement, in my opinion, isn't a "movement" as much as a new business model. Say all that you want about it being the source of the Gods' operating system, but plain and simple it is just a superior way of developing software, and there's money to be made. The enemy is indeed anything that would like to discredit the Open Source model (Microsoft included). What we have is bold "idealists" (as we are so shamefully called) who are willing to put their code on the line, while 50-year-old executives are unwilling to risk their stocks on such a "new" and "unproven" method of managing a software product. This will turn over as we ourselves become those executives. The operating system itself is not the issue. BeOS may come into power one day and Open Source software will be threshing the software fields there as well. Believe it or not, an Open Source Windows project will have a much more visible and positive impact than any Linux project could - at this point in time! Don't forget that as Linux becomes more of a mainstay, we will have products like Delphi for Linux that will help us port those projects easily. In Summary: Linux may have been the Kernel of Open Source, but a rectangle is not a square. -Effendi
