If this is what it boils down to, frankly there are times where I'd favor closed source if only because it automatically disqualifies the masses that are incapable of doing the reverse-engineering. One might argue open source lowers that bar.
I'm not advocating one vs the other.

Neither do I, both have advantages and disadvantages.
I just don't like the typical generalists and absolutists.
And about security... there is no 100% security, you can only try to make it so time consuming that it is not really worth to try it, but you can't completely avoid it.

Jim would beam as much Jim Beam as Jim could beam, if Jim could beam Jim Beam.

Assuming he could consume as much Jim Beam as he could beam!

Jim didn't do too well on Romulan Ale when McCoy gave him some "for medicinal purposes", so I suspect Jim would beam Jim Beam as far away from Jim as Jim could beam Jim Beam. And beam widely while he did it.

Now try it with Scottie and scotch.

Does the 24th century have "Don't drink Jim Beam and Beam" campaigns?
Confronted with a dead Jim Beam bottle, Jim would not be beaming.

Everyone knows Jim Bean isn't allowed on the Enterprise. Scotty only allows Scotch on board.

Should you quit your job in the Helium factory because you refuse to be spoken to in that tone?

IOW, you should quit on a high note.

A noble thought indeed, but you probably won't get the reaction you were hoping for.

From the sound of it, perhaps we ought float the question, and if there's no decent frequency of approvals then we can bury it inert.

Um ... I'm running 2004, and XPS viewer is still there. A quick search via the WIN key and the app appears. It opens XPS files, and double clicking on 'em opens 'em as well.

Weird... look my answer below.
There are a lot of links in a quick search saying that MS retired it. That's why I wrote my rant.
