Who needs a new mindset?

I'm glad to know in ericlee's "Microsoft's acquisition of Zend" fake news that open source requires a new mindset. It turned out to be a fake news. However, they have too many misunderstandings about open-source software and free software. I have nothing to say.

In fact, the technical topic is also very interesting. In the past few days, kakaxi and I have discussed the. NET topic. As Ling Hu said:

Now it's another year and a half. Is there any change in the world due to. Net? No. But now the script language has sprung up like mushrooms .. Is there a way to use them? No. This is not the end. The debate also needs to look at the reality.
In my opinion, what kind of vision of Vista is like a communist society that has been promoted before, and there is no tomorrow where it is today? Mahaina Vista is like a fallen soldier, encroaching on all users' computers overnight? Windows XP has not been popular with PC manufacturers for a long time and cannot be replaced with Win2000. If it weren't for Microsoft to force a lot of services to only XP, I'm afraid XP's promotion would fail even more.

In fact, they do not have to do this. Some. Net fans even ran to Meng Yan to scold, so they were even more boring. When I first came out of. Net, a. Net fan proudly laughed at us native developers and said:

You are in a hurry because you feel the crisis is under pressure.

But they didn't think of three years of Hedong, three years of Hexi.

However, if MS is able to send Vista free of charge, there may be a glimmer of hope. ^ O ^

But Will its shareholders agree?

In fact, open-source software has never been excluded from business. Open-source businesses also require funds to develop. The biggest difference between open-source software and business is that, open source gives users the maximum freedom-or even forces users to pass this freedom to their users (such as GPL ). Moreover, Open Source Software (OSS) and free software (FS) are not the same thing. For those who perform fud on OSS/FS, there is a huge misunderstanding of OSS/FS, and this misunderstanding is caused by the fud of OSS/fs by commercial software.

I never deny that the world needs commercial software, but OSS/FS is also required. They are only good for users, at least with additional options. At present, the mentality of business software and fans of some large companies on OSS/FS is very problematic. The example mentioned in ericlee is that OSS/FS is changing the pattern of commercial software, instead of the opposite.

For those who indulge in the Utopia fantasies depicted by commercial software, they are like the happy North Korean people. Others are living in the hot water, and only the main idea is the king.

They should go and have a look at the path to slavery from February, and see the beautiful New World from andos khāli.
