If we're talking about bug-free new features, customer support and 
documentation yes my experience is much better with "closed-sourced" 
commercial products. As already said before, I admit that there are (many) 
exceptions to that rule. That's why I'm using FreeBSD, Apache, Postfix and 
of course pmwiki.

First I don't like Vista but that's not the case. However, I wouldn't 
compare an OS with tens of millions lines of c/asm code with simple 
opensource projects. Btw Vista was developed in less time than Perl6, linux 
kernel v2, xWin X11 etc...

Agreed.
