- No drawbacks for consumers of open source
-
"The move illustrates the advantages and drawbacks of the
open-source software in the business realm. On the one
hand, it enables companies to cooperate, challenging
common foes such as Microsoft or improving technology so
the overall market grows faster. But on the other hand, it
can make it harder for one company to maintain a
competitive advantage over another."
However, the consumer always wins by getting full access
to essential technologies without the lock-in or rip-off
prices of proprietary technologies! - Posted by: Richard Flude Posted on: 07/22/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
