The point is the claim was "everybody wins." My point is "everybody" at best is 3% of the population who gives a shit about having control of their own software. No, mostly corporations win. Consumers get some fringe benefits at best. I'm not seeing regular people become multimillionaires simply because they use Linux instead of Windows. Mostly its weird fucking shut-ins.

For context, do you use Linux or have you contributed to open source?
