I have found that open source software is often far better in quality than other products that you would pay big dollars to buy. I am an Ubuntu user and an Open Office user. I found the way that the way my computer ran with a Windows operating system was horrible. The hard-drives were spinning hard all the time. I felt that with every automatic update that my computer would run worse and worse. When I switched my computers ran better and cooler. Open Office has been a staple for me and has been great office software that I use daily. VYM mind maps have been a blessing to me as well and very frequently use it. Moodle was something I used while in business school as some of the professors on campus required using it for submitting projects and for working with a group. Open source software and Apple products are really all I use anymore. Also, I would rather use a server running on Ubuntu than one that runs Windows. My feeling is that free and open innovation is something worth supporting.
