All significant open source development today is done by folks who are not "scratching an itch" but cashing a paycheck, and the projects they release are things that would not have made them money anyway. The actual valuable stuf

Windows lets you run Linux apps at the same speed as raw metal Linux, but with good drivers for things like video cards, wifi, etc. Windows also gives you access to a more diverse selection of its own apps so you can get your day job done.

One look at the comments in a typical HN thread about FOSS shows how good a job the big players (Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc) have done turning what was a threat into an asset. We literally now have people proclaiming how great it is to

If you look at the folks who are backing this, it is clear what their intent is.

As a non-mac user I am fascinated by blogs like this. Does Apple care? Like, if they just ignore the issue, will enough people stop buying their products that they will even notice? When Apple releases a new product, it seems to me the p
