debate in the world of computer technology

One debate in the world of computer technology is whether proprietary or open-source window software is better. Those who advocate for proprietary software argue that the closed source nature of the software allows for better security and protection against malware and hacking. They also argue that proprietary software companies have more resources to continuously develop and improve their products.
On the other hand, proponents of open-source software argue that the open nature of the code allows for more transparency and security through community review. They also argue that open-source software is often free and more accessible to individuals and small businesses who may not have the financial resources to purchase proprietary software.
Another point of contention is the level of customization available on open-source software versus proprietary software. Open-source software allows users to modify and personalize the software to their specific needs, whereas proprietary software often only allows for a set range of options and customization.
Some argue that proprietary software is essential for certain industries, such as the financial sector, due to the need for strict security protocols, while others argue that open-source software can be just as secure if not more secure, and that it is important for industries to have access to the underlying code to ensure security.
Another debate is the support and maintenance aspect, some argue that proprietary software companies offer better support and maintenance, while others argue that open-source software has a more extensive community that provides support and maintenance.
Overall, the decision between proprietary and open-source window software is a complex one, with pros and cons to each, and ultimately it depends on the specific needs and preferences of the individual or organization.

I use both. It’s my or my company’s choice.
Simple once you think about it.
