Institutions vs Collaboration or why open source projects will be successful

I just watched this TED talk by Clay Shirky that was recorded in July 2005 but only recently posted to the TED website. Given that the talk is 3 years old, he gives a meaningful insights of our society and how Institutional thinking is working. Especially the example of Steve Ballmer not understanding Linux still holds up today (even thought Microsoft tries so hard to enter the open source game).

I suggest you spend 20 minutes watching this and reflect what has happened in the last 3 years.
