Member since:Bullshit. Do you think the average Windows consumer either knows or cares to know where the source for Windows came from? It's not a question of plunking down money with piece of mind for the future.. it's still a bunch of whiners not getting information they wrongly feel they are entitled to. It's closed source, live with it. Again, buy it or don't buy it.

It has nothing to do with closed-source versus open-source you nutball. It has to do with any source versus no source. If Microsoft said "we don't have the source code to Windows", or worse, "we have the source code, but not legally" you can bet that the average Windows consumer would care. Maybe not your clueless home user, but your average Windows consumer is an IT guy managing hundreds or thousands of consumers, or a high-up at Dell or HP responsible for getting millions of licenses for their PCs. You think Dell is going to risk billions of dollars shipping a product that could be illegal?

What the hell? Zeta is by all means a quite mediocre product at this point. When people spend $100 bucks on a copy, they're buying the promise of the future of Zeta. A product without source code has no future, period. Of course the customer has the right to know that before plunking down their money!
