RE: Apple vs. Google - Closed Versus Open Systems - Book Club #19: "Steve Jobs"

Open source is good for fast advancement but sometimes things get buggy and unstable. Improvement is faster and stability is better when open source competes with closed. It gives the consumer more options, so everyone is forced to work hard if they don't want to lose. Let's use browser as example, Closed IE dominated the market, then open Mozilla firefox and now it's closed Chrome. It is best when both open and closed are in the market simultaneously.

I absolutely agree, you make some great points as well, especially with the browser example - it's definitely beneficial to have both closed and open in the market simultaneously

Yeah that browser example is a great point, love reading through these older posts!
