This is true. I value FOSS immensely. But it’s not for everyone. It’s not for the non tech. It’s not for the people failing to embrace change; and let’s be honest ms has always done file sharing best. They still do. Yes you have to pay the man. Buy good things cost money.
Same.
FOSS is crucial to the survival of freedom in IT (broad sense) - whoever claims otherwise, doesn't understand what is going on all around him.
But it doesn't mean that Linux/FOSS is allowed to stay blind and deaf and resist evolution, especially if it wants to become something more than a set of tools for network administrators...
