"The Open Source community's answer is to ignore Microsoft's incredible technological lead - because it is proprietary and not a standard - and instead focusses on their own cool thing and self-gratifying cool features, because they think they can do better (which is where the ignorance combined with ego comes in)."

Doubt I'll add anything to this discussion but the comments have brought up an interesting point. I believe the one way for the open source ideology to succeed is for the developers and community in general to try to teach others and help others contribute more than they do now. We should go out of our way and be creative to try to make learning on Linux and playing with Linux fun. If you can make developement fun for the community you'll get more developers and better software. I bet the average teenager geek can code circles around the average sys admin. So keep it simple and make it fun and we have a chance, no matter how the community acts or how much the software costs.
