Do any of these still sound familiar?

   1. It's all about Linux versus Windows
   2. Open source software isn't reliable or supported
   3. Big companies don't use open source software
   4. Open source is hostile to intellectual property
   5. Open source is all about licenses
   6. If I give away my software to the open source community, thousands of developers will suddenly start working for me for nothing
   7. Open source only matters to programmers; most users never look under the hood anyway
   8. There's no money to be made on free software
   9. The open source movement isn't sustainable; people will stop developing free software once they see others making lots of money from their efforts
  10. Open source is playing catch up to Microsoft and the commercial world
