The jury may still be out on a final determination of the "open source vs
proprietary" debate, but this guy's attitude is just plain hubris ...


"Freeware is not akin to malware, but is opening up those customers to
problems."

If freeware is not akin to malware, why even use those two words in
the same sentence? He also seems to confuse "Freeware" with "Open
Source".

I think the best one is the proclamation that Closed Source == more
secure, cause we all know that closed source software *never* gets
owned.
