If M$ could commit to that lower price from now and forever, then there
isn't a need for redhat or suse!

In fact, why we use Open Source is due to the fact that Open Source gave
us source code. By having souce code with us, we aren't worry about the
developer stop improving the existing code because someone else will
carry on the work.

The idea of Open Source is new and need improvement over time. New
problem will appear that fight against Open Source. And we need to deal
with them accordingly.
