  But what if they don't turn out as good as hoped, why should they be marketed then? This is true in general. If they had crystal ball and saw that technology X is going to be popular at time Y, they they work on it until then and release. However things change, market changes, by the time X is 3/4 done maybe there is no more demand for X, or X just turns out not to work as well as hoped. Going full steam ahead with it just because of sunk costs might not be best use of resources. So they try something else. > them the proper marketing so they have a chance to thrive? For mediocre products to thrive just marketing is not enough. Marketing is a good accelerator for already great products. If they are not great, marketing is working against the flow. Sure one can show people the cool Windows 8 tablet commercial with people dancing in it 100 more times and maybe they'll get a few more sales, but that alone is not going to be enough to make it a success.

  It is open source. We don't get to have it both ways. Reporters see a slide deck from FOSDEM [1] and decide to report on it. [1] http://video.fosdem.org/2014/UD2218A/Saturday/Servo_building_a_parallel_web_browser.webm http://video.fosdem.org/2014/UD2218A/Saturday/Servo_building...
