“Microsoft is like Coke,” Howe told NewsFactor. “It”s a secret formula, all the money is from distribution, and their goal is to get Coke everywhere. Open source is like selling water. There are water companies like Perrier and Poland Spring, but you”re competing with something that”s free.

Interesting analogies … I do enjoy the microsoft “coke” by the way. Mac is … err … a mac, nothing special besides the candy-ui, and Linux is …err…. hosting/server linux. Still windows is the best for-everyone.
