Piracy is not that big of a deal. Get over it!!!!! However i love my open source software. Made the move to Linux in 2006 and am amazed at the quality of some of this software. I would like to see more powerful audio editing software (think cubase). Kind of off subject but as a musician i would love to see the Major record companies totally collapse!!! Burn baby Burn. If u have a friend that is a britney spears fan burn the albums for them and then pray for them. Brit can get a day job like 99 percent of other musicians who have dedicated their life to 'music' (unlike her).

> what does open source help me
Well, interoperability, internet, www, many proprietary programs use FOSS software ideas, a bit more fair competition within software companies when open standards are used, progress and quality of development.

Because why do you think many big companyes start using open development systems? The best example foe now is Nokia.

There is some enterprises that in fact win with piracy… Like article said… the habit. There unthinkable to an beginner designer or programmer to buy a version of visual studio or photoshop to learn to work with it. The most of money take from comercial enterpresis… The piracy begins in here in my point of view…. Things like games… ok it will be always be a fight About oo… I will try to choose the best… I still use ms office in linux using wine…. OO still need a lot of work… and yes, the eyes eat… OO it’s ugly looking as win 95 app and it’s really heavy…
I already contributed with some software to opensource comunity… I love all ideia… but alternatives still not good. I think they will be soon but not now… As OS linux still my choice…for servers… But I already installed windows on my computer… Kernel developing right now… it’s really bad( mk question, drivers support between minor releases like lirc problem and others things)…
Yes, thks to piracy I know the commercial software… my choose on profissional situation, some free and open software… but if they are best… time is money… even if i have to pay to win time. I wouldn’t never recommendo to enterprise to buy a software that i just tried with a trial.
