"While Microsoft engineers were trudging through their death march, 
the open source community shipped a series of major upgrades to the 
Linux operating system. How can hackers, scattered across the globe, 
working for no pay, linked only by the net and shared values, 
apparently outperform the smartest software company on the planet?

Microsofties retort that Vista is much more complex than Linux. But 
it's not the whole story. It could be that purely networked 
enterprises like the Linux project are actually a better way of 
producing very complex products, much as Toyota's 'lean' production 
system is the best way of making cars."
