I love my inkscape and gimp, and, um- I think Adobe knows it. So I really don't care what they do. Flash is on it's way out, too- silverlight is an open standard, and we will have a complete OSS implementation within the month. I just don't think, in this day and age, that proprietary software models are, well, innovative. We aren't driven by competition any more- we're driven by wanting features- 'cause the people who make programs like inkscape use them, and they know what they want.

In the case where something new does come out of recent proprietary software, I say that all the people who don't have access to it because of money, and don't know about the OSS alternatives- well- it's not worth it.]]>Jun 24th 2007 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/19/ubuntu-red-hat-and-microsoft-not-really-buddies/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/19/ubuntu-red-hat-and-microsoft-not-really-buddies/By then Linux would be on so many machines world wide, what would MS be able to do?]]>Jun 20th 2007 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/19/ubuntu-red-hat-and-microsoft-not-really-buddies/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/19/ubuntu-red-hat-and-microsoft-not-really-buddies/

I feel like every time Linux is mentioned in a news story, people come out of the woodwork like "Hey, I got DweebOS 0.014c running stable on my ..."
