“1. It’s just for Linux: Most users trip up over this point.
When open source comes up in a conversation, talk inevitably — and
almost always initially — turns to Linux. The public always seems
to assume open-source applications are only for Linux. In fact
there are plenty of open-source projects that are either cross
platform or Windows only. The Open Source Windows site lists a
variety of software for Microsoft’s operating systems. But the site
doesn’t include the listing of major forces, such as Apache, MySQL
and Drupal.”
