He explained why FOSS is bad. I tried to explain my point of view why FOSS is good. Throughout the article he pointed out some things: freedom is bad and dangerous and FOSS is unstable. Everyone can see where you went wrong in the process of coding, which means your code is more vulnerable to attacks. He did forget to mention that openness is usually more secure, because those bugs come out faster. He compared open source and open standards: open standards are OK (OOXML is an "open" standard, so I suppose he couldn't tell anything bad about them) because everyone knows how to implement your product (OOXML). On the other hand, open source is bad - everyone can change your code. I suppose that he thinks project leaders just give out permissions to change the code to anyone. He continues with examples - multitude of big corporations and cities tried to switch to open, but they failed. Though we didn't see any names. I provided a few links to the UK government's open source usability study, which is quite good in my opinion. And in the end he said how we should enjoy our locked in world - it's much safer. Sorry, I can't accept that EULA. Hello Sarah,

One of the Serbian’s newspapers Danas published an article written by Microsoft’s CEO for Serbia and Montenegro Dejan Cvetkovic. He explained why FOSS is bad. I tried to explain my point of view why FOSS is good.

Throughout the article he pointed out some things: freedom is bad and dangerous and FOSS is unstable. Everyone can see where you went wrong in the process of coding, which means your code is more vulnerable to attacks. He did forget to mention that openness is usually more secure, because those bugs come out faster.

He compared open source and open standards: open standards are OK (OOXML is an “open” standard, so I suppose he couldn’t tell anything bad about them) because everyone knows how to implement your product (OOXML). On the other hand, open source is bad - everyone can change your code. I suppose that he thinks project leaders just give out permissions to change the code to anyone.

He continues with examples - multitude of big corporations and cities tried to switch to open, but they failed. Though we didn’t see any names. I provided a few links to the UK government’s open source usability study, which is quite good in my opinion.

And in the end he said how we should enjoy our locked in world - it’s much safer. Sorry, I can’t accept that EULA.
