I think switching cost is a little overrated when we talk about individuals. With businesses, just like any process, it's going to require a little bit of money to make the changes. But sometimes you've got to make long-term investments. And what would be better for the world if everything was an open source, it would be at a stalemate and there would be peace. I'm not saying the world would be perfect, but it'd be a little better than today. Also, it's not what they tell you. It's what they don't tell you.
