A senior Microsoft executive told a BBC documentary that people should use commercial software if they're looking for stability. "Some people want to use community-based software, and they get value out of sharing with other people in the community. Other people want the reliability and the dependability that comes from a commercial software model. And again, at the end of the day, you make the choice based on what has the highest value to you."

Yeah, name another commericial OS company that makes something even close to closed-source like windows which is dominating the market by 90%.....
Yeah, the guy that said that is from Microsoft, and he is not up on his Open-Source facts to tell you the truth...
If Microsoft and its supporters want everyone to stop knocking them, they should have people come out and EMBRACE Open-Source...
Now, go back to your windows machine....

Maybe I'm blind, but I see nothing in the article that motivates the headline it got.
Other people want the reliability and the dependability that comes from a commercial software model.
And I don't see any problem with this either. It's a perfectly valid statement that gets flamed because it's a microsoftee that said it...
