Nice article, I feel that Communism is a red herring.
The essense, which I think is well known, is that
replication of bits is very cheap so atom based models
are outmoded. The OSS model fits the situation much better,
and M$ has no right to its billions, Bill was just at
the right place at the right time and the market would bear it,
largely because there was no competition.If I was M$ I would be bricking it.
