Keith Curtis worked at Microsoft for 11 years, coding on Windows, Office, and at Microsoft's research department, before leaving the Redmond giant. Call it a revelation, call it giving in to the devil's temptations, but he's now a complete open source and Linux advocate, and in his new book, "After the Software Wars", he explains why open source will prevail against Microsoft's proprietary model.

I'd say that apache isn't a cheap copy of a commercial program. There are other examples out there. Such as bittorrent. Considering you probably use it, I wouldn't bag open source software since it enables most of your piracy as well as your WoW updates.
