Proprietary is not always bad though. Look at the mess of the browser
market - not ONE browser meets the specifications the browser
manufactures agreed. Even worse than that, each implements most of the
standards slightly differently. Flash works the same everywhere, on
almost all platforms. If only Open software could even come close to
that. This is the problem though: There are a lot of very smart geeks in
the world and they all have their own arrogant belief that their way is
best, without actually thinking about Users. This is another reason why
so much OS software is horrible to look at. Created by programmers, who
can only think like programmers.

Average folks aren't programmers - or designers for that matter.
