Good question

Thoughtfully stated...

What he was describing is that Windows

Yeah, being able to freely modify and tweak the code as desired
Ole Man | 10/21/09

Compared to the annual salary of a developer?.
pmcgrath@... | 10/21/09

So developers performance have no value now?
Ole Man | 10/21/09

When the developer is on the vendor?s payroll..

Not trying to convince you of anything

@Ole Man - I hear you.

You're generalizing as much as he is..
daftkey | 10/22/09

Good point
dchase@... | 10/21/09

Even if they had developed using MS

Still missing the point

Narrow focus.

Actually.. this is perfectly possible with proprietary code..
