.... a guy like softwarecreator would have to find another paying profession.

I have a solid 3 year contract.  Beyond that ... well who knows?

I honestly don't see Open Source as a real threat to my career.  I think it'll take 10+ years for Linux to be a force against MS.  I already know C++, C, Java and PHP, as well as all MS languages, so I'll be okay.  I adapt to changes pretty well, I guess.

You seem like a pretty laid back type of guy.

GE, are you watching this? This guy can question the concept of OSS without drawing flames to himself...

You watching, GE? Figure it out yet? You need to be more like this guy.

Hear me?

Thanks for coming on here and posting, softwarecreator. You're a reminder to us Linux users that people can not care much for Linux and still not act like horses' butts about it.

Oh I'm not predicting Stallman and his ilk will take over the future of the industry, just pointing out what it might be like if they did. Their current attacks on patents and DRM are losing, big in the US.
