| Summary: | Eazel is a Silicon Valley start-up that wants to turn Linux and other open-source software into products that can easily be used by people who have never seen a line of source-code. If Eazel succeeds in its goal, Linux could become an even bigger rival to Microsoft's Windows, and the firm could be a model for the software industry in the future. Andy Hertzfeld, Eazel's software expert, believes that even if it does not achieve its goal, open source will undo the business model of firms making proprietary software.
