But I think that to the extent that you believe your own argument, you lend credibility to those who say that FreeBSD and Linux won't be able to compete in the corporate arena because what's coded is what the developers want, rather than what the users want/need. I don't know all the answers. I know that argument is wrong, and I think your argument is right. I'm just not sure how it is that those things reconcile.
