Here's an utterly marvelous article in which Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols explains with superb lucidity what Microsoft could learn from studying the open source software movement. It's first-rate stuff. I wish I'd written it, but I doubt I'm bright enough.

Hmmm...it seems that Mr. Vaughan-Nichols has also written an earlier piece on what Linux could learn from Microsoft. I better read that one too. I can certainly think of a few things, like consistent user interfaces...but Vaughan-Nichols has no doubt beaten me to it.
