So, you basically love it because the end product is good. Doesn't have any relation with how it was developed. Glad we could agree :D

I thought you are a MS fanatic. And ya, FOSS fanatics can be trouble at times but the arrogant lot is the one which actually knows something. See, I am not arrogant! And is it true? "Also, while using a software I don’t really bother if its open source or not. What matters to me is the end product." - Kudos to you! BTW, Opera is good. The UI is good. Smooth.

The only company you can say I am passionate about is Opera. In fact over the years I have developed a dislike for some of the ardent (translation: in your face) FOSS fanatics.Also, while using a software I don't really bother if its open source or not.

So are you a MS supporter or FOSS supporter?

Well, yikes from me too. So are you a MS supporter or FOSS supporter? If you are a FOSS supporter, it's obvious. If MS supporter, it's funny. I know you will make up a third category.. And i know what Codeplex is - Just another place where Microsoft puts its hired employees, expecting the world to think otherwise, like its stupid ads. Although, Monty might deny it as always.. ““yikes” because Codeplex is Ms’s own open source repository which they had launched as one of their initiatives to promote open source and to win the trust of the open source community”

But there sure are some good products from them like Visio and Exchange Server. I think its time for them to stop earning and devise new models to help the community.
