Linux is very well funded too und the developers are some of the most talented system programmers of our time. Just some facts from Annual Linux Development Report: * Seventy-five percent of all kernel development is done by developers who are being paid for their work. * The top 10 organizations sponsoring Linux kernel are Red Hat, Intel, Novell, IBM, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Oracle and Google - all big boys * Linux has Linus :) Actually I think Linux has an organizational advantage, because companies can share risks.
