Well I agree in general, but to get there you would have to change how vendors operate with customers and between each other, and that doesn't seem to be happen

Well I agree in general, but to get there you would have to change how vendors operate with customers and between each other, and that doesn't seem to be happening despite all the spyware and other craptastic after effects. If congress wasn't so corrupt I would say regulation might help, but as it stands Kstreet would likely make it worse... Another point of view is I don't like this assumption users can't or won't learn. I don't complain that a TIG welder is only for experts because I can't operate it with no training, because its a tool that requires training, and so is a computer. This is why I think one of the main problems is that schools should not be teaching proprietary systems. (Once again a thing RMS was right about)
