Thanks Jim. " There's plenty of uneasiness in Redmond, Washington, these days. Microsoft has begun to internalize the recognition that the next, and quite probably final, period of its existence will be dominated by competition with free software. That competition presents challenges the monopoly has never faced before, and already it has become necessary, at what Microsoft hopes is still an early stage in the confrontation, to take steps that no other competitor has ever had the power to force."

#2 - "oh wait, all the socialist/communist nations' economies are failing"

While I think that communism is abhorent, and that socialism can result in the loss of freedom, your statement is incorrect.

Most of the existing socialist states (including France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and many others) currently have a stronger economy, on average, than the less socialist states of Russia, Britian, the US, Japan, etc. Indeed, it has often been the strength of a socialist economy that it can typically weather economic downturn due to its heavily regulated (read: fake) markets.

I don't advocate socialism not because I think it's flawed in its goal, but in its implementation. I'm not convinced that personal liberty would be sufficently protected in a non-capitalistic state. The lack of private sources of funding for political protests means that an individuals ability to get their message out is primarily determine by the state that they oppose. This is one reason why I think that a mixed economy tends to be a more ideal one as it preserves the possibility of independant sources of funding for dissent.

At any rate, your off the cuff dismissal of socialism is all too common in the United States. The goal of socialism is often ignored, yet it is the most important part of the ideology. Everbody should be able to live their life freely, and pursue the improvement of oneself and one's society. In a world where the gap between the richest and the poorest continues to grow, we should all be more receptive and have greater interest in the possible alternatives to capitalism.

This is my favorite part of this guy's argument: "Because free software is continually modified and improved by all its users, there's no 'evolutionary dead end' argument with which to scare customers." So, that would leave Nutscrape where, exactly? LOL

#5 jdhawk, here is another good one

But technically sophisticated corporate and governmental users now realize that the free software codebase will last indefinitely, capable of renewal and replacement for as long as its users need it. No matter how long Microsoft lasts, free software will last longer.

Boy I am glad that they are focusing on Microsoft when companies "on their side" are not feeling the pinch just ask Sun. Boy I am glad that Linux is directly threaten MS on desktop and not affecting Sun on the server </sarcasm>
