The problems with open source
Talkback One is an OS and the other is an optional browser. OTOH, if you have OSS, and you are a programmer (in the language of the application) then you can get the source, see why it does what it does, and change it to be more suitable for your needs.

Firefox: The ultimate test for open source?
Talkback Simply, Firefox is a much better browser. And if Microsoft aren't going to push forward and improve their own browser and email clients, then they have no right to rest on the laurels and think the battle is over.
