Darl? Blake? Which one of you posted this?
Heh. Yet another misguided fool who thinks OSS is all about cost-free software. Hint: 1.) It's about having the freedom to control your own destiny when it comes to your IT investment. It's not the software vendors investment yet they seem to think they own your equipment and software. Check the onerous licensing agreements to see how they view your investment. 2.) Companies working with OSS make a profit when they provide better service than their competitors. Remember service? I'm betting you work for one of the software vendors that have gotten the idea into their collective heads that the customers owes them something regardless of the pitiful level of service your company chooses to provide. If you don't perform, you die. The big software companies have gotten lazy and expect to have their double digit profits handed to them on a silver platter after foisting their crappy products on the public and then absolving themselves of any liability through their clever EULAs. Now that's innovation!
Go troll somewhere else. (I've already wasted enough time responding to you.)
