Probably not. Hal Varian discussed this very issue in his 1990 paper, "Economic Incentives in Software Design" (http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~hal/Papers/Software.pdf) See also: Microsoft Windows.

Dear Guardian: please remember at least the recent past, OK? Otherwise, you'll be condemned to repeat it.
