Star 'What Makes Software High-Quality?'

Features, Office "Which parameters make software applications high-quality? And which parameters or methods, while desirable, are not directly 'quality'?" This is the question the author of this article asks himself. Most of his 'parameters' make a lot of sense, but be aware that the article is about what makes an open source program high quality, and not programs in general. This important bit is stated in the one-sentence 'abstract'.

Please, the FOSS types are nuts because they accept a few bugs as a tradeoff for more flexible software without mysteries.


In a lot of cases though, the FOSS crowd doesn't have a choice.

The non-FOSS types are nuts because they accept steaming turd nutty quality software (How's Vista doing these days?)


Haha, don't know... don't use it. There's a lot of bad software out there, both open source and not. The difference is that most of the 'non-FOSS' crowd will use a piece of software whether it's open source or not. Just because we use propietary apps doesn't mean we're anti-FOSS. This is not a pro-choice/pro-life kind of thing. It's a 'use the best tool for the job' kind of thing ;)
