    @Detritus
    - Exactly my point. If two pieces of software came out, you'd choose the one that you like best. Most people would. Most companies would too. During that in-between time, it would be compatibility hell (think Windows/OSX). Eventually, there would be a dominating piece of software and we'd be in the same position we're in now -- A software maker making a piece of software that EVERYONE uses and it would be considered 'anti-competitive' until we repeated that process. Now if software makers were making software that worked across all platforms and other competing softwares (similar to open source), that'd be a different story...but I doubt that'll happen simply because people like money.

    • The only hell I see between Windows and OSx is in font definitions - all other shared assets seem to work finedetritus

    • that eventually dominating software would only happen with competition.eficks
    • Only reason I want competition is to keep things moving forward. I'll be fucked if I ever buy in to another Corel product!detritus
