Releasing source would encourage me to use more MS programs, without the source opened I don't really know what the application does besides the stuff it 'appears' to be doing.
Example: Personally I wouldn't use ANY closed-source encryption software. I use TrueCrypt on both windows and linux, because the source is open. If the source was closed noone could know if the vendors implementation of the encrytion algo was correct (or maybe he did a small mistake making it possible to decrypt the data easily). You don't even know if the used algorithm is a strong crypto - maybe the guy that wrote the application thought something out at the weekend, thinking it was a safe procedure BUT in fact it is not. Software that phones home is another story... Most amazing jew boots |
