"The T-Mobile G1 Google smartphone, designed by Google and made by HTC, remains firmly in the shadow of the iPhone-for now. The phone, which goes on sale next week in the US and next month in Britain, was released too early. The HTC hardware and Android OS that powers it lack the polish and depth of even the iPhone 1.0 in most respects. It's not a bad phone, but the software and hardware needed more time in the oven to bring them to a golden brown crispness." Full review at Arstechnica.

That's my point.
On the server side completely different story. Open Source on the server is not to be disputed and can easily hold its own.
But on the desktop I just don't see it.
OpenOffice? Sorry, let's try this again. I write Excel and spreadsheet applications (.NET integration) day in and day out, that are used to perform mathematical calculations. Whenever I look at Calc I just roll my eyes and think, when will these people become serious.
Firefox? You know I actually used to like it. But ever since very recently Firefox is breaking things. I can't view youtube video's anymore. Websites don't work properly, etc. Yes I still use Firefox, but I use more often than not IE again. Actually this disappoints me a bit because I actually like Firefox.
I am actually for an OpenSource "tax". Yes free is good and the spirit is good, but people do need to eat...
