Why Open Source Software Sucks: Software Simplicity Isn't Simple (internetducttape.com)
1 point by makimaki on Dec 6, 2007 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment



Does Open Source software really suck, though? I'm much happier with my Ubuntu system with Firefox, Open Office, etc. than with my OSX (Leopard) system. (Of course, that might be because Apple really messed up with Leopard, but I digress.) Given the state of my networked machines running Windows vs. the networked machines running pretty much anything else, I doubt I'll be using any software that I have to purchase for a while.
