I reckon the only people who suffer from OSource are the big corporate bodies (and those employed by them, i guess thats the bad part), as theres nothing to stop indie programmers & small sw companies writing sofware (esp. games), plugins, utilities and mods to sell. Even on linux theres commercial software(mostly shareware) and it sells too.
No wonder MS wants it buried :)
