Is Open source really worth it at last 13602

In other words, you *concede* point (a).

Thanks.

In a court this would be calledspeculation-. Whereas microsoft.public.*.* newsgroups are filled with pour souls who twist and turn their code into circles only to find out that it was bug that will be "fixed in version nnn.nnn".

Let me be more clear. I mean a highly paid, top tier engineering support group that had access to the code to make 'hotfixes'.

Even then, in many cases, the customer would only be issuing a cry for help -- one that may not be responded to for months.

Meanwhile, and OSS based IT department could high a surgical consultant, make the change and move on.

That's a general issue for all employees or contract workers.

The court will strike that argument from the record.

Well, not you're talking!

In fact, not only would they do this -- but it's implied in the whole architecture that this would be the case!

In fact, Microsoft does the same thing. Here -- here's 99.9 percent of an answer -- see how much I help you??? What? Oh, you want the last 0.1 percent? The part that actually solves the problem.

Well, bub, that'll cost ya'!

But hey, datz r baa-ziz-nast!

Unless you count medical malpractice.
