Aki,<br><br>I am no programmer nor an authority in the IT industry but I have read through this thread and some others from you with amusement. This particular one started off a a quest to find out the motivation behind creation of Linux which has turned into a bashing of Linux and Open source. As far as I a concerned, both paradigms are here to say (Different businss requirements require an evaluation of the pro-and cons of using software from the different divide.   Get used to that idea).  Now when it comes to innovations, I can say both sides of the divide contribute to the development/betterment of IT. Its possible that closed has contributed more but equally there s no denying that Open has its contributions too.  Have u ever wondered why are huge corporates like IBM and even Cisco, Toyota just to name a few are jumping into the Linux Bandwagon. We&#39;ve seen countless times where Big corporates buy out small Open source IT firms to gain a foothold into some segment of the market or just to kill of the competition? <br>
<br>I am really trying to avoid debate about closed vs. open as my intention was to talk about motivation and it believe me its not always about gain. (financial or otherwise). It varies from individual to individual.<br>
<br>How would you explain this.<br><br><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/01/AR2010070106247.html">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/01/AR2010070106247.html</a><br>

<div>Just to confirm to you that I&#39;m not making stuff up. Please review this thread that the Orange EVDO modem not working across all flavours. <u>I also do not see any of your responses to this thread below</u>. I see that it talks about the different versions that the modem works on and others that does not. Also mention where the problem is, whether the kernels need updates etc, </div>
