Where Are All the Open Source Billionaires?

If Open Source software is free, then why bother spending money on
Microsoft Partner stuff? I already know what Microsoft's detractors will
say: "There's no reason whatsoever. $40 billion per year is totally wasted."

"This, however is not a very satisfying answer, simply because it
doesn't quite ring true. Otherwise there'd be a lot more famous Open
Source billionaires out there, being written up in Forbes Magazine or
wherever. And Bill Gates would've been ousted years ago. "
