It is interesting to get the perspective of someone who is a business owner. I am still in college, so I am working from observation from the outside, which is what compelled me to bring my thoughts to Perl Monks.

It gets difficult to find a middle ground. My personal computer, is big bundle of contradiction. I have Linux dual booted to Windows, so I have software on both ends of the spectrum. I do not want to dive into the quality issue, I honestly see both sides as having good quality software. I have had better luck working with open sourcers, which seems to account for most of my support and loyalty to them. I do not mind working with a corporation, and they have their moments that they listen to their customers, after all they are in the business in suply and demand, but sometimes I wonder if it is because the open source world is starting to give them a run for their money.

Oh, by the way, thanks, this is the first intelligent conversation I have had in a long time, hahaha :).
