Way less frequently today than in 1996, and less every day as it gets
closer to the mass market. Which is where I started out, in the desktop
market, having source isn't important. Everyone keeps saying there are
advantages to having source and I don't disagree, I just don't think it's a
selling feature when you are talking to the desktop/small business crowd.
