I always explain it the following way to the non-techies: You've heard of the appstore and how everybody wants to replicate apple's "business model" behind it. Well, it turns out they didn't come up with it. The true inventor was Linus Torvalds. Linux is an "appstore" for bad driver software. Maybe the first time in human civilization where something so broken by design has become the core underlying business plan and gained so much interest to succeed at such scale and against all rationality. Apple had it all easy after this proof of concept. They sold half-ripe hardware, with nearly none of the potential exploited by software, and relied on mostly unvetted third-party submissions to fix that in "apps". Worked for GNU/LINUX, makes apple rich, too. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T3e07bfdf263a83c8-Md44fe= 279076dffcd1f676ab0 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
