Yeah.  A *real* bunch of duds! 

-- 
Linux vs. Windows is a no-Win situation.

Without open source projects like Apache, Nginx, OpenSSL, OpenSSH and others 
(to say nothing of GNU/Linux, which does get some attention), the latest hot 
new thing would likely not exist. More fundamentally, the web as we know it 
would not exist.

There is a kind of myth that has grown around this lack of attention. It's the 
myth of the lone developer creating powerful magic. It's a myth the open-source 
community likes to tell itself: that open source software is created by 
individuals working on labours of love in their spare time.

However, the myth ignores the fact that much of the money going into open source 
software is directly and indirectly (in the form of employing developers who 
contribute to open source projects) coming from corporations.

So much for tagging it "hobbyware".
