Free software is a sort of misnomer. It is a matter of liberty rather than the price. It is essentially about freedom to users to copy, distribute, change or improve the software. Access to source code is essential to achieve this.This debate on whether Microsoft offers a better and stable operating system or a free operating system developed by Linux, Fedora or Ubuntu would make better option, is being fuelled by growing perception about Microsoft being greedy.

No doubt, for a long time, in mid nineties, when there was no credible substitute for its products, it tried to manipulate the market to the extent possible. It was the first major software company to enhance software upgrade charges to 50% against 20% which was industry norm. Standard practice of Microsoft had been to add features to its software that would put its competitors out of the business and later on selling those as add-on features.

Free open source operating systems were perceived as answer to Microsoft’s perceived greedy attitude. Free software was started as ethical movement as constructive alternative to Microsoft’s growing monopoly.

Digg, launched in December 1994, is a community based website that allows users to rank the stories they like to the home page or to “bury it to death” the stories they do not like. The more the numbers of diggs that a story receives, the higher it ranks. Its promoters earlier wanted to call the site “Diggnation”, but for choosing a simpler name, they settled for Digg. They could not take the domain “dig” as the same was owned by Walt Disney Internet Group.

Digg bought a site that was engaged in “Spiking the Digg” as it felt that it would be worth to jump at the opportunity to shut down a scheme that attempts to undermine the legitimacy of Digg’s voting system. If you are a member of any such spiking community, tomorrow Digg could have all your activity known and your site could be penalized by Digg.

Google has alleged that Microsoft’s Windows Vista’s desktop searching is virtually impossible to be turned off and thus it adversely affects non Microsoft search index program’s capability. Microsoft has denied the allegation. The outcome of the case is awaited. The moot question here is if a business giant like Google is not entirely free from evil effects Microsoft’s monopoly, what would be the fate of small businesses?

The real protest is not against the quality of the product, but rather how it behaves. The problems with monopolistic approach of these companies gets compounded when they are able to rig the laws with impunity.

BSD is a version of Unix developed at University of California, Berkley. It is compatible for x86, AMD64, ULTRASPARC architectures and compatibility with some additional platforms is in advanced stage of development. It is known for some of its cutting edge features as advanced networking, security, compatibility which are not there even in some of the best commercial operating systems. Its features make it preferable to even commercial Unix workstations. Any one can contribute to BSD through a committer.

However, despite the large number of similarities between BSD and Linux, there are equally large numbers of differences. These differences have resulted into many deep seated disagreements. Principally the differences emerge from disagreement over development methodology.

Recent CNN Money survey pointed out interesting results that while expert users of .NET get higher initial salaries and hefty annual increments that can go up to 15%, open source programmers get only modest hike of just two percent. A debate has been raging in the IT community as to why do .NET programmers get better salary than the open source programmers.

The debate, intentionally or unintentionally, seems to be working in favor of Microsoft, who obviously has vested interest in promoting ASP.NET. RedHat, Zope, and IBM are known as excellent paymasters to open source programmers and scout for talented programmers from open source community.

Social networks in the form of Yahoo or MSN communities always existed. But today social networking has acquired altogether different connotation and size. MySpace is known to be first social network and today with 20 million users, it tops the pack of social networking sites.

Whether we like or dislike emergence of such networking sites, fact is we cannot wish it away. There is money to be made from such data mined, and this would not stop. Instead of being paranoid about the cyber crime in any form, we need to develop strengths to deal with it and tap huge possibilities of networked world.
