Through our research, we found out that there are pros and cons of using Open Source Software. The research is based on the questionnaire and surveys done by both of us to get the point of views from computer users.

Personally, in my opinion, there are a number of disadvantages of using OSS as free software are usually not as good as the one which need to be bought to use. Some company just create OSS to get profit without doing on-going improvement to the software. But at the same time there is no doubt that OSS also are good for computer users because they can be re-programme according to the needs of the users making it suitable almost all the time.
