No doubt about that, yet the model which causes the problem is that of furious
competition (as you've said) not of non-disclosed-source, which is the main
difference between the Linux && M$ platforms. Other companies developing
"closed" software, produce superior code from time to time, mainly since they
don't address the "lowest common denominator" of software market.
