Customer Reviews

Don’t look so surprised.

This film follows the mainstream development and development methods of the varied software that makes it possible for you to read this review. Some people tend to think that is the alternative to Microsoft; the reality is that it is Microsoft that is the deviate, along with a few other companies (However, I must admit I admire AIX.) So, you will derive from this film that software has started “open source,” and when companies started to button it up, the people just moved on to other forms of creating and maintaining open systems. The film is fun in itself as it lets those who were in the movement see themselves in retrospect, and those who missed the boat catch up. Too bad it cut short, being 2002 to miss the inroads of Linux and Fedora both as a replacement and coexistent in the information technology world of today.
