I missed the discussion in the last days and was on the one hand surprised how lively it
was conducted, on the other hand I am missing one point completely (or I did not notice
it): If we leave aside the discussion about Open Source versus Closed Source, the question
of choice remains. Because if good ideas are always bought up by the same companies
without problems - regardless of whether they want to make a profit or eliminate a
competitor, this restricts our options. That's a point I don't like - no matter if
Google, Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP or whoever buys other innovative companies, in the
end it results in a fight between two or three companies and not only many innovative
ideas are crushed, but often enough also the portability between systems.
