"An interesting article about the shift in open source from idealistic to pragmatic. The author compares the relative obscurity of FOSS software such as MediaGoblin and KDE's MakePlayLive co-op to commercial software. The article then goes on to discuss the split between FOSS's goal to provide freedom to users and to provide high-quality software. Also mentioned is the split between commercial and non-commercial FOSS."

Somebody remind me, what does the non-FOSS world have that is comparable to the Mint Software Center [netupd8.com] (or any package manager)?
They've had decades. Surely they have a competitive app.
Warning: If somebody mentions something that only updates the OS and not the apps, he is going to get a Bzzzzzzt.
