Ex-Microsoftie: Free Software Will Kill Redmond (ComputerWorld)

The heir to the xmms legacy is Audacious, btw. My wife uses it and it seems quite stable and usable for her. (I personally can't stand it, but everyone's experience depends on their perspective. I find that while there are certainly plenty of things that annoy me about software -- after all, I'm a hacker -- the Linux ecosystem remains substantially better for everything I want to do than any of the alternatives, and continues to improve substantially over time. Perhaps this just means there are more people who are more like me doing the hacking these days.)
