I thought a lot of that movie sucked (they had the "nurv" to put in a chase scene) and half the cast was a bunch of twenty-something actors you'd find in teenage horror films. Other than that, it actually had a plot, there were no "running through the mainframe building to throw the switch on the bomb" sequences like in The Net. It was about as technically accurate as it gets with Hollywood.

The entire thing was anti-Microsoft. They even had Scott Nealy (CEO of Sun Microsystems, Inc.) to make a cameo, and the Nurv environment reeked of a lot of the Microsoft-myths. The movie was, at least partially, to promote not only open-source, but anti-Microsoftism. They could've had the plot with stealing source code from Linux users and then killing them without making the blatant connection with MS.

All in all, though, it was a pretty fun movie to watch.
Wow, that was a broad spectrum . You went from the movie totally sucked, to its a fun movie to watch.
