Not everything that shines is gold

I have noticed that Internet users employ what others say it is good, even if really is not. The fact that many do, not mean that it is the best, that happens with many things in real life, it's like fashion, and are those who have their own personal style and those who simply do what the others do and it shows a lack of thought. 

Let's see real examples in the world of data processing: 

Winzip - program to compact and decompress was one of the first in its genre but remains the same even if there were other free and better. 

Linux - all speak bad of or Microsoft Windows (even if it used its PC) and talk about Linux as it is "free" (and have pirated copies of Windows and other soft), which is the best operating system (Repeating as parrots) without knowing even make a correct installation of Windows and Linux much less. 

Customers of which I speak are like children, very easy to deceive and convince of anything. 

Remember that the Internet and the computer in general is a business where the main interest is to make money (You don't gain anything when surfs the Internet, or use your computer, but the sites you visit, your Internet provider and others yes) 

The computer manufacturer prefers to put Linux on the PC to reduce cost of licences and is more profit for their business. 

It has been noticed that most of the hosting platform on the Internet are on Linux and other open source soft because the same formula simple, reduce costs and get more profit. 

The open source where you show the source code is very defended by "certain enterprises" as others working to clear her way free giving additional value to their products with the help of a few programmers free. 

You and many others, does not care whether the source code is available or not, since the majority of Internet users are not programmers or were not interested in wasting time programming for free. 

So think a little more about what they tell us on the Internet and question everything you read. 

Even my article… ..
