The stuff about the wii I was talking about wasn't the games but the software that manages the new controller. The new UI for the wii is what I meant. I'm not complaining there aren't open source games. I'm just saying I don't think open source regularly produces something like the wii interface or the iphone that's both really revolutionary and good enough for people to use all the time without effort. That's pretty well supported by evidence. Sometimes, open source produces good solutions I like to use.
Now, I think there are lots of projects that don't need to be easy enough for everyone to use or revolutionary. Open source is great for those situations and lots of others. Remember I don't hate open source stuff. I don't even know what it would mean for open source to fail or succeed.
Everyone wins when everyone helps each other out, but everyone also wins when a company pursues a singular vision an open source development style would cramp, and puts out something great closed source. It's not a zero sum game here either. [sarcasm]I don't think I'm trolling, I think you bitter open source cultists are projecting your misery at the better looking closed source people who get laid more then you onto my obviously true comment that probably everything in the world won't be open source in a year or two (just like Gilligan probably won't get off that island this time) and anyone who likes really awesome new stuff thats easy to use should thank God for that.[/sarcasm]
Sorry for that miscommunication.
