I think I'll place my money on a case by case basis! Both models have strengths and weaknesses. While I think Free has a philosophical edge and I heartily support it, it isn't good at some things (i.e. why linux sucks on the desktop). On the other hand, I agree that Microsoft's Cathedral is pretty well and truly busted. :) Hmm… I think I'll place my money on a case by case basis! Both models have strengths and weaknesses.

I mean, I'd probably lay the wager on that specific cathedral and that specific bazaar, but comparing Apple's Cathedral, say, to Google's Bazaar? I'd put my money on Apple. Of course, thankfully, it's not such a thing and I can actually put my money on both! :) I'm not sure I'd lay that wager!
