      Do you have a reason to assume that the outsiders using proprietary insider software will do it better, or is that just hope and prayer?

        What do you mean? That’s the opposite of my point.

        I use Linux with ton of open source software since a decade, and it only got better, while Microsoft policies only got worse. It’s a direct empiric evidence that it works.

              You just said using proprietary outsider software was the opposite of good, now you’ve flipped to call it just a tool? Pick an opinion.

                You have problem with distinction between operating system development and tools used to develop it?
