The question is... what is useful for us all, not only for *you* or *me*? More and more, not gaining control over your software means your vendor gains control over you (cf. the stampede to the cloud, apps, many vendor's move to pay-per-use and subscription models, etc. etc.) To have a remote chance of having a say on this, we "consumers" have to bundle forces. No, I don't want to be reduced to a gullet.
