How does "windows" qualify as an open source application? Certainly not as Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) I suppose.

bmelton3• 15 years ago

I suppose it depends on how you define 'open source', but Windows has released the source to those willing to sign an NDA and all that.

I know a few people with copies.

Chromium and XMind.

Ubuntu, Inkscape, LibreOffice, GIMP, Thunderbird, Rhythmbox, Scribus, PHP, MySQL, K3b, Audacity, Phoenix Firestorm (SecondLife/OpenSim Client), Dokuwiki

Also - switching IDEs, was Quanta Plus, but am leaning toward Aptana - which is based on Eclipse
