mus3na 5 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 open source is a family of software which everyone can modify the source code. Windows OS'es came from close source family. this mean, not everybody can read the sourcecode of any close source software including os. You cannot reverse engineering, recompile, rebuild this close source software. if you do, than, you will need more than USD1M to pay microsoft.additional info : www.google.com.my Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being the oldest OS, it's not popular because it's not targeted to end user, yet at least there are an effort to bring it to home pc ..and nobody is sponsoring opens source for advertisement to become a familliar product, and who's goin to provide after sales support?
