It is not Communism that FireFox and other open source is taking out the Software Cartels. It is Capitalism in its highest degree. I love it because it means that everyone can compete, not just the ones with control over the media. Word of mouth is a better way to advertise than the Microsoft-vested media outlets. I love the money I have made from selling used computers with a new lease on life. I also like the fact that I can load a homebuilt or restored computer with top quality media authoring software, games, office suites, and much more without charging my customers one red cent extra and without spy or adware. I challenge any “Microsoft Business Partner” to do the same with windows. This is what is fair competition, and Microsoft is beginning to lose. Microsoft’s connections with the other Cartels are not helping now are they? Microsoft and other members of cartels are now resulting to misleading advertisement to destroy the competition. Microsoft is still King of the Desktop, but for how long? Finally, capitalism is coming back to the software industry.

As a relatively new Linux user it makes me proud to see M$ loosing shares and struggling to keep up with a browser that benefits everyone and not just a group of centralized-power mongers.
I would eventually like to see all facets of capitalism fail in this same way: by loosing ground to a popular idea that is by the people and for the people.
To hell with M$

I think that we are seeing the first situations in which Microsoft will falter in it implimentation of updates and security fixes. It has come to the point that Misrosoft is to big for its own good and it is now that the general public can start to see it. I.E. by design cannot ever be as good as Firefox because M$ has too much revinue to be lost by actually making their software safer. Microsoft would be cutting their own throats by making their software standards compliant.
