Why the hell are people still SO SCARED to try out something new??? say linux… i mean if you truly look at the concept and philosophy of an open source the possibilities are endless. Its somehow like comparing a closed family owned business to a cooperation. DO you see the big picture here? look at how much linux have evolved in this short amount of time. compare that to a closed sourced company. glitches and bugs will be fixed on the fly.
There are couple of old sayings that say: United we stand and we are strong, break up to pieces and we are weak. The second one would be, Sharing is truly caring. Just imagine the power of gathering all these intelligent and smart programmers working for a single cause. Imagine a guy in china fixing up the kernel to suit their specific chinese governmental and educational districts, while another guy in brazil using teh same kernel and source code to Compile something that would suit their needs. Now imagine teh power.1 world that stands united.
Sounds nice, but better for the computer/technology forum.
