I found this article pretty amusing:

	``The key thing is [with] people who are selling their software, the
	software has to somehow be better than the free software and [if] it's
	not better, I'm puzzled as to what the business model is because they
	can't sell it,'' -- Jim Gray, Microsoft Distinguished Engineer Mar 2004

I should pay for commercial software that's not as good as open source
software?
