The old stereotype of FOSS being an inherently slow development model,
due to some misperceived "need" for vast financial resources, has been
well and truly debunked with the Vista farce, if nothing else.

One of my all-time favourite quotes.

Naturally; it's obvious and self-evident. It's also a thorn in the side
for those who seek to protect the archaic and exploitative proprietary
licensing revenue model.
