Microsoft Versus Open Source

Software which are open source products may sometimes be good to be true because some of them lack the features of it's commercial counterparts. That is why there are more wise consumers who do not incarcerate themselves from every technology trend that surfaces in the computer world. They're not gullible to the spoon feeding act the media and computer companies are currently doing to be able to grab the neck of their patronizers. Sad to say, but open source technology, just like other old trends may stay here for a while then come to its end sooner than we think.

But if you're really interested with using open source software, you can freely use them as long as you are not one of those who'll be next sued by the software giant Microsoft Corporation for downloading and using applications from the OpenOffice.org. Men from the giant company said that it is quintessentially without liability and warranty, and that they always have the right to sue whoever is using it. This is another hurricane attack in the already dizzying digitally driven world that we lived in.

I think this move by Microsoft Corporation will alarm those who use the other office suite because of the lack of budget and downloading it for free is a money saving idea. Open source is likened to a garage sale of software products where in it is given freely to those computer users who are in need and those who knew what good can they get from it. But with Microsoft meddling with the free service provided by OpenOffice.org, I have the feeling that they are just threatened due to the fact that open source is a growing revolution in the software industry.
