The client itself is proprietary, but the file system component (novfs) that ships with the OS is open source.

You’re right on the maturation of the community; the number of “RTFM, n00b!” responses in the various discussion groups is way down, making for a far more pleasant environment to attempt to get real work done in.

….And LHB is also right: Samba configuration does suck dead weasels.

Comment on Supporting FOSS on non-free platforms? by Jules

I completely agree!

Although cross-platform applications may stop or slow some people from switching, they also make it much easier to switch if you want to. Now there is choice!

As an IT professional, I doubt I’ll ever be free of Windows so having cross-platform tools like Firefox, Thunderbird, Keepass, Truecrypt, Google Earth, OpenOffice, Komodo Edit, etc. is a real god-send.

Funny that you use KOffice as example and not the obvious case of Novell offering its edition of OpenOffice.org for Windows :-)…
