SAP doesn't get it

"But if you look at the most innovative desktop today, Microsoft's Vista is
not copying Linux, it is copying Apple."

But, but, but....

Exactly where does he think Apple is getting some of its innovations from? Just look at Darwin and Safari. Both have strong roots in open source innovation. Apple has been able cherry-pick from successful open-source projects and continue innovating on top of them.

Why do so many pointy heads not realize that Linux isn't the only open source project? Ergh. Open source is now extremely pervasive. And, that's because it continually innovates in ways that commercial products can't.
