Saving Money With Open Source. "Apple is the first vendor to bet the farm on BSD. By making Darwin the core of OS X, Apple has made the biggest corporate commitment to OSS so far." (The Star via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]


It is interesting to note that also the Open Source part of Mac OS X gets attention. However, most of the attraction to the system is caused by the graphical user interface, the iApps, and all those nice little tools Apple has packaged with the system. So, Mac OS X is a mixture of open and closed, and this seems to work quite well. I hope that also "pure" Open Source versions of Mac OS X software will be developed.
