The article makes no comment about redistribution of wealth. It did indicate that programmers were concerned about their ability to write software. Did we read the same article?

Puh-lease. Don't play dumb. This event is a peasant rebellion. It's all about money -- money spent on commercial solutions -- which open source fanatics want redirected to open source.

Additionally, the thread reminded me of the Mozilla download I had and never installed. After a couple of minutes with it it seems a lot faster than either IE or Opera and all of the features of this site seem to look really good and function. Open source may be the answer to the constant crashing of microsoft and the occassional freeze ups with mac. Not a bad browser.
