[Openicc] ColorVision Open Source Policy

[edmund ronald]

Never met a photographer using Linux, yet. Those guys must be really dumb, huh ?

 What Apple has managed to do is supply the *nix community with a *nix
laptop where the sound card and video actually works (Xf86Config,
anyone ?), which can hibernate without trashing the file system, with
a system engineer in Cupertino doing the essential updates for you,
and with software that actually does what you want *before* you
finally locate the ".config" file. Oh, and yes, it can read the common
media formats without going through conniptions.

 Let me say it again - Apple has just repackaged Unix so that people
can drive the car without learning mechanics - if the Linux community
had made the same user-oriented effort Linux would rule the world -
anyone who has used an iPhone knows exactly what you can do with
cleanly repackaged Unix.
