Free software (eventually) works better than proprietary software; why?

Making dramatic statements always implies a need to “back” them (or “prove” them) with facts, data, statistics. However, a statement like “Free software works better than proprietary software” is so broad, anybody can prove it and disprove it at will. It depends on which angle you take, which area, and what your comparison terms are. However, I would like to add an important keyword to that sentence: “Free software works better than proprietary software”. That easily-missed word shyly hiding in brackets makes all the difference.

That extra word —eventually—implies that really, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes better.

So many people who eat, breath, live free software today know that it’s unstoppable. Microsoft’s executives, locked in their corporate rooms, didn’t have the insight to figure out what was coming from the free software world.
