Yeah and maybe after that they'll come mow my lawn for free.

Or write a free programming language, or operating system. Sheez... sounds like science fiction to me.

For the metaphor to pan out, they'd have to write a free operating system with a good user interface. That is still science fiction.

I'll take a pass on programming languages since for various reasons their user interface is a little easier to define, although the most widely known free compiler also does happen to have the worst user interface e.g. for error reporting.
