Charging to develop on a platform/within a framework is something that Apple and Microsoft do. Look at the proliferation of Java and Rails and I think you'll agree free, no-friction entry is the best way to go.
- boucher 16y agoYeah, because Microsoft and Apple are two companies that clearly failed while Sun and 37 Signals are clearly successful multi billion dollar businesses.
- gfodor 16y agoThe last sentence of the original post could very well be the most sarcastic post on the internet, if it was intended so.
- alttab 16y agoI really should start including the tags, shouldn't I?
- Aaronontheweb 16y agoYeah (sorry for down-voting you) - there are so many anti-propreitary rantings around here that it's hard to separate out the sarcastic people who acknowledge the objective reality from the standard propreitary always == bad!!!! kool-aid drinkers.
- jshen 16y agoOdd choice of comparison. I think linux has owned ms and apple on the server side. mysql is the dominant db for web apps, etc. If your metric of success is a company that makes money you are ignoring a large part of the world.
- sanderjd 16y agoJust depends on how you define "success" (although I think being acquired and gutted by Oracle is outside anyone's definition).
