293: 266: 361: 190: 234: 424: 414: 393: 1129:"Software bloat" is a meaningless term bandied about by people to disparage software that has features they personally don't use. It's in no way reserved for closed source software. Google for any of the following: "kde bloat", "gnome bloat", "ubuntu bloat", "linux bloat", or permit me a single word: Emacs. 994:
operating system kernels looked for differences between code developed using open-source properties (the first two kernels) and proprietary code (the other two kernels). The study collected metrics in the areas of file organization, code structure, code style, the use of the C preprocessor, and data

Its not like that all applications on Windows happily use DirectShow. E.g. for music applications there is ASIO as well, nearly each video editing application introduces an own plugin format. I see the situation under Linux a bit cleaner,. First xine and mplayer are not frameworks, they are players.

No, that's part of his speculation that "there is also the possibility that Mozilla innovation could slow down and the browser could be surpassed by more innovative products such as Opera or Konqueror." Mozilla innovation has not slowed down, so it has not been surpassed by those other products, so

Knowledge (XXG) is open-source oriented. If everything is proprietary, wikipedia would not even exist. Mere facts are not biased. Proprietary lovers can make their own proprietary 'Pedia and then not be able to contribute to it nor comment. Mere fact that you can comment and change pages and state

I did massive edits I think may clear some biases. This is horrible. I think some resons this may be so one sided is that Knowledge (XXG) is open source. This article however makes me REVOLT at open source. Seriously, this is horrible. Here is my opinion as a Windows User using Firefox. Open Source
1149:
Oh, and BTW, I'm not going to respond to any arguments with the above. I don't mean to be rude, I simply don't have the time. (And it's a Saturday! Go outside and play! :) If you'd like to debunk the arguments, restore the material with proper citations. (3rd party, reliable, all that jazz.)
566:
See? Its pretty simple to me. I dunno though. My honest opinion is that this page is written by a smug Linux user who likes to smell his own farts and say "I am root" and this makes me hate it. This is part of the reason I hate Mac users. SMUGGNESS ONLY RECOILS PEOPLE! I love open source, but this

about whether Konqueror is innovative at dot.kde.org are considered reliable because they're clearly going to be biased in favor of their own applications. But you do have a reliable source (Linux Magazine) that says Konqueror is innovative, so feel free to add it to the list of innovative open
1168:
Item 1 reflected the reality more in the original version. Many (not necessarily all) closed source developers put heavy efforts on customer lock-in, utilizing secrecy and proprietary formats (only possibly with closed source) to do so. You can find hundreds of references to Microsoft alone on
958:
This discussion contains complaints concerning the many original research / unverifiable statements included in the corresponding article. I added the following section, which references a peer-reviewed conference paper. It was reverted, because it contained a reference to a work that I had
1169:
Google. In contrast, your formulation is both too trivial to actually say enough to be included and over-generalizes how commercial companies work: Features are very often thought up merely to demonstrate new-ness, give marketing and sales arguments, and not based on user feedback.
943:
Weasel words were a problem, I hope I didn't do anything against the rules in that regard. Most significantly, I edited out some statements with obvious POV, (some was ridiculous), and asked for a lot of sources. Possibly too many, but hopefully not. I also fixed a few typos. Whoo!
588:
I am a proud open source fan, but in all seriousness, this article is very open-source slanted in some parts, while very closed-source in other parts. It lacks citations in many places. I am going to do my best to try and help close the gaps, but any assistance would be great -
1329:
There is still a "?" tag () on the sentence "Moreover, many see the introduction of FOSS as damaging to the market for commercial software" in the article. I suggest that it can be removed now. Any comments or advice? - such as, regarding the kind of (and the extent of)
1210:. From reviewing this article and the references, I believe the terms in this article should be changed to "Proprietary Software" if the current definition of "open source" is left as is. (Note that I am making a distinction here, Open Source does not specifically mean 538:
I have been trying to add a bunch of more substantive content, including several new sections.So far I haven't done much to touch the existing content, but I think it's time to get rid of the existing "Control" and "Missing technological components" sections, as a start.
1175:
Item 4 is again an over-generalization that takes a very serious problem in today's software world too lightly. You are, however, right in that it is common in "FOSS" too. (To avoid writing a five page essay, I am not going to go into a discussion on how features
759:
No, commercial success does not equal innovation. Media coverage does not equal innovation. Popularity does not equal innovation. NPOV has nothing to do with innovation. KDE is far more innovative than Windows and Mac OS, and Konqueror is its core application. --
749:
If there's very little mention of Konqueror and much about Firefox in the media, it doesn't make sense to mention Konqueror and not Firefox, as that would be out of proportion. It may make sense to mention Konqueror further down the list, for example. --
1299:
made the article internally inconsistent, using the terms "Linux" and "GNU/Linux" interchangeably. This is confusing; we should use one or the other. It also reversed the copyedit of the word "distro" to the better "distribution". It should be reverted.

published (the fact that I had published the paper was obvious: my Knowledge (XXG) id is my name; I don't believe in hiding behind an alias). If somebody thinks that this should be included in the entry, you can find the corresponding text below.
897:
This could be the single worst, most biased, and unsourced article on Knowledge (XXG). A random editor rising from the unwashed masses from the Internet could rightfully delete 60% of the competely unsupported nonsense found here. Congratulations,
911:. 3 months ago it was unbearable banter between windows dorks and linux fan-boys. Now it's been cleaned up into neat tables full of useful and relevant information presented in a (mostly) non-biased language. This article can do the same. 44: 1382:"Dr. R. Keith Sawyer claimed in a article on Huffington Post 2007 that Open-source software are more derivative than innovative, with Linux being a derivative of Unix, and Firefox not being different from any other browser." 925:
This page is ridiculously POV and requires serious cleanup. There is plenty of unsourced "the opens-source community believes..." or "open-source software is often accused of...". The whole article needs a massive rewrite.
613:
facts known to anyone make wikipedia a better place and that requires explanation of differences, to labeling article on top for stating facts and let it stay there since 2005 is political statement and biased itself. (
1069:
This article states: "Open source (or free software)" while this are very different terms and I find this statement unfortunate. Maybe something like Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) would be better suited?
147: 1089:
This page is in sore need of some heavy editing. I've been removing content that's unsourced. Lest I be accused of vandalism, I want to provide a point-by-point debunking of a paragraph I just removed.

I'm doing this as a demonstration of my good faith. I don't have to do it at all - this material was unsourced and hence automatically eligible for removal (if my understanding of WP rules is correct.)

Definately biased. I'd like to make it a little more objective, but I just don't have the time on my hands right now, maybe an administrator could put a bias warning on the top??

This article only seems to contain arguments against open source / for closed source and their rebuttal. I think it lacks arguments why to use open source in the first place. --
1416: 24: 512:
yes, this article is extremely one-sided. It essentially takes successful open source projects and then says, "See? They work. Criticism of OSS is wrong!" That's not NPOV.

Again, it doesn't matter what you know, or what is "commonly known". What matters is what is verifiable from reliable sources. Again, Jim Rapoza never said that Konqueror

In my mind the distinction needs to be made because of the tendency to lump everything that has source available with FOSS when that is very definitely not the case (see
