Open source
That committment - to the open source projects, and the work they’ll put into those projects, as well as to the future of Open Source, is the single and most important thing to walk away from Tiger with. Apple isn’t just betting it’s future on Open Source, it’s beating Microsoft to market with it.
This from a review of Apple’s new Tiger operating system, powering the iBook that brings jack/zen to daily life. It’s just nice to know that investment in an Apple product is one more endorsement of the institutionally-disruptive Open Source community and its message that was certainly a mantra of my adolescence: grow your own, baby. Read: Let no one or entity define your reality. Very zen, indeed.
