>>"Proof by inspection" is a wonderful thing. Mitch - thanks for your message. Please educate me - what successful software products have been developed via Open Source? Of course the obvious answer is Linux. But are there others? As for Linux - is it truly easier to use than NT? Does it offer more advanced functionality than NT? And how much of Linux was actually developed via the Open Source method - and how much of it was created through the work of Linus. I would counter your claims by saying that your one example of Linux does not lessen the strength of the arguments I presented in my earlier post. Have you ever worked in software development? Thanks, -Eric Wells
