While I am the original poster and I am totally for open source
I disagree with most of your conclusions. open source software is no better or worse than closed software.
I have seen my share of crap open source software ...mostly because the people "are free thinkers" and think they can do it better than the last guy.
Why do you think there is so many Linux distributions? Any why is it when you talk to any Linux developer they immediately try to convince you you should be using XYZ distribution?
Do we really need 10 different packaging formats (Linux)? Have you ever looked at the Linix driver code (yuck!) or the endless stream of U-boot modifications?
A properly run closed source project can provide better code stability and thus reliability. Something sorely lacking in many open source projects.
Yes, more (better) minds make better code.
