I see other people here have raised the issue of what source this is coming from. Let me raise another one. Ultimately though, what matters the most to me is control. I have a simple rule of thumb, which is that I don’t put data somewhere that I can’t get it back. That’s the reason that I didn’t buy songs in iTunes, purchase ebooks for the Amazon Kindle, or really log into Facebook at all. It’s also the reason that I recently switched my computer from Microsoft Windows to Ubuntu Linux. Not to make this into an OS flamewar, but is he implying that just because Windows is closed source you do not have control over your data on the Windows platform? That Microsoft prevents you or apps from doing things or prevents you from removing things once you are done? That seems like a long shot.
