You missed the point.  I am talking about the model the Open Source  
Community wants the world to adhere to.  I don't want to go with this  
endless banter with these silly counter points.  The only thing I  
found interesting is that you would go and ask a chef for a valuable  
recipe for free.  What kind of man doesn't even want to pay someone  
for his work.  You people are scary.  If you want to be zealots of  
Linux by all means huddle at the Linux Caffe, I'll gladly spend my  
money at the Apple Store.  It is just operating systems to most  
people.  You really don't know what you are talking about when it  
comes to virtualization, Novell, cloud computing, IBM etc.  The reason  
I say I do because I spent months with both of them and I have an  
excellent idea of what they intend with all of the technologies  
including Linux.  Furthermore I generally find that I have little use  
for the banter on the LUG and in retrospect I should have not posted  
anything that you Linux zealots find contrary to your cause.  Sit in  
your Linux corner, let the Microsoft people sit in theirs, let the  
Apple people in theirs.  I'll continue to bounce to better and better  
platforms.
