The reason why OSS isn't big in MS/.NET land?(weblogs.asp.net)

"The reason is simple: Money. Microsoft land and now also .NET land has been and will be for some time to come a land where people are more or less thinking like "Oh, I need a control/tool for this, let's purchase a license of a commercial one I saw in an ad.". In the Java land and also in other areas, like of course the Linux world, people think in general a little different: If you need it, you either download a free, open source one, and if that one sucks, either improve it or write a better one."
