I never imagined that the Free Software Movement would spawn a watered-down alternative, the Open Source Movement, which would become so well-known that people would ask me questions about open source thinking that I work under that banner.
Richard Stallman

None of our competitors have ever made two systems that run the same software.
Trip Hawkins

Shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software with the worst of free software.
Linus Torvalds

Requirement completeness: Requirements are sufficient to distinguish the desired behavior of the software from that of any other undesired program that might be designed. .
Nancy Leveson

What we believe is going to be very important is the delivery of traditional software and services and hardware over the Net. That's a form of electronic marketplace.
Lou Gerstner

Free open-source software, by its nature, is unlikely to feature secret back doors that lead directly to Langley, Va.

I have mostly software synthesizers and software drum machines. I'm very lazy. I don't really like to plug in a lot of equipment and external boxes and everything.
Karin Dreijer Andersson

It's hardware that makes a machine fast. It's software that makes a fast machine slow.

Learning research tells us that the time lag from experiment to feedback is critical.
Kent Beck

That's the thing about people who think they hate computers. What they really hate is lousy programmers.

When I write software, I know that it will fail, either due to my own mistake, or due to some other cause.

If you think your management doesn't know what it's doing or that your organisation turns out low-quality software crap that embarrasses you, then leave.

It turned out that building mobile software was a lot more like building hardware... where you had 1 shot and you had to get it right, right out of the gate.
Hosain Rahman

I want to avoid locking people into solutions that work only with Postfix. People should have a choice in what software they want to use with Postfix, be it anti-virus or otherwise.
Wietse Venema

Companies in every industry need to assume that a software revolution is coming.
Marc Andreessen
Image
As you get to the end of the project you want to run all the tests cases against one version and make sure that you know that that version passed everything. And so as you get late in the project you get a little more conservative about making radical changes to the software.
Bill Gates
Image
Proprietary software tends to have malicious features. The point is with a proprietary program, when the users dont have the source code, we can never tell. So you must consider every proprietary program as potential malware.
Richard Stallman
Image
Perhaps the worst software technology of all time was the use of physical lines of code [for metrics]. Continued use of this approach, in the author's opinion, should be considered professional malpractice.
Capers Jones

When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Image
Ironically, the main task of chess software companies today is to find ways to make the program weaker, not stronger, and to provide enough options that any user can pick from different levels and the machine will try to make enough mistakes to give him a chance.
Garry Kasparov
Image
The two [separate] UIs are both incredibly simple and don't even look like computer programs they barely need menus. [When combined, they] suddenly look like software.
Havoc Pennington

Like any well designed software product, Windows is designed, developed and tested as an integrated whole.
Bill Gates
Image
The mind is like a computer. It runs programs. Most of the software has been poorly written. It is written in the language of fear.
Frederick Lenz

The new Web is a very different thing. It's a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter. Silicon Valley consultants call it Web 2.0, as if it were a new version of some old software. But it's really a revolution.
