Dan Bricklin writes in Dan Bricklin's Log: "Software that lasts 200 years. I just posted a new essay that grew out of my exposure to the state of Massachusetts' work on open source and open standards, as well as from my thinking about open source and software development business models in general."

"It looks like the structure and culture of a typical prepackaged software company is not attuned to the long-term needs of society for software that is part of its infrastructure. This essay discusses the ecosystem needed for development that better meets those needs."

HTML Help, Task Manager and IIS 4.0 under NT 4 all get patches. Hot stuff. Get patched.
