Hmm. I've found many places that provide better fast food, but NONE for

the same money. All I've seen charge more than McDonalds. Some proudly

so; I think they're trying to imply that because their food costs more,

it must be better.
McDonalds has a very well-developed, efficient, refined and managed

process for supplying food to their restaurants while maintaining the

quality their customers buy and controlling the cost. It's very hard for

competitors to match that process, let alone beat it.
If Linux became the foundation for a similarly-efficient music

production process that provides the "quality" (a very vague term when

applied to music!) that customers (another vague term: a customer I

might love to have might be the one that someone else would LOATHE) buy,

I think the improvement in funding would only help Linux music

production software get better. Get more competitive with the Mac and

Windows software setups. As long as it continues to be FLOSS, and

doesn't get locked up in proprietary products that run on Linux, the

Linux software's monetary cost will always be less.

That's one reason why people all over America pick McDonalds. When

McDonalds started out, one of the differentiators it brought to the

hamburger place market was consistent taste and quality. Before

McDonalds, you took your chances when traveling. One hamburger place

might be great. The next might give you food poisoning! Americans

traveling internationally just took that attitude with them and applied

it to environments where local food was much more questionable (for very

real reasons, sometimes).
