@Rad, not to be too spammy, I totally respect an individual's personal choice of what they like to do in the software industry. That is not even for discussion. However, on a commerce level, I don't know how many software developers realise that when the giants fight it it the ground that suffers. My gut instinct has always been correct on this industry and thus now understand why we lack a serious software development commercial sector. And it will not happen until we don't choose sides and go for trying to better one another. If I was good at software development, I can assure you one of my first targets would have been to replace what Open Source offers, the same strategy that it is using to compete with other markets. Infact, I read that Ubuntu's development model is driven by what Microsoft does thus the frequent releases. Me thots and corrections welcome. :-)

This makes no sense to me. There is no law that says it must be an either-or.
