Kapor: Why the old development model is history (IT Manager's Journal) [LWN.net]

IT Manager's Journal covers Mitch Kapor's talk at the Software Development Forum. ""Open source software, like flowing water, will go everywhere it can go," said Kapor. And that's not a bad thing; it may be harder to get ultra-rich developing software, he said, but it's easier to start a software company, thanks to the rich base of existing open source projects."

"Open source software, like flowing water, will go everywhere it can go,"

Microsoft had merits in the past, but for to long now they are a MARKETING & CONTROL operation.

Sure they will change, but before they are throwing the biggest lock in that the industry ever saw... and are already shoving it down its users throats!

Besides shocking, religion or visions what the world needs in IT is a users revolt agains this NGSCB/Paladium "thing"!

Is it just me, or does anyone more smell a killing "Open Source" attempt here, from M$, and that could prove to be more effective than a patents war.
