But it only got so much attention lately because the greedy corps no longer want to pay the OS developers and the good ones are getting scarce and more expensive as our population getting more and more dumb.... The CEOs can get bigger benefits just stealing the FOSS stuff which is VERY buggy but they can get away with it unless people get killed (e.g. put Linux into cockpits or nuclear silos). The end of World is night. > > At least the BSD has been developed by paid academics and people naturally intelligent (not drug induced intelligence) and Apple took good use of that.... The *only* reason Apple chose BSD is because of the license. This is Microsoft's dilemma. At some point Windoze will be either Linux or BSD. Linux is better, but BSD lets you close the source after adding trojan. What to do... what to do...
