Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
This is a Red Hat marketing video, but I think it’s pretty cool:
I’ve written about this in the past: in the long run, open systems tend to triumph over closed ones. I don’t think that Red Hat will necessarily be the open system that conquers the OS market. Personally, I’m rooting for the increasingly-open Mac OS X. But sooner or later, the inefficiencies of creating large software products using a centralized, Soviet development model will render that model unsustainable.
