Across all IT organizations, what percentage of applications do you think that are used are open source? If open source is as superior as you claim, why would Roml Lefkowitz estimate that about 1-2% of IT applications are open source (or money spent on IT applications - I'm not sure which he meant)? I think it's because open source applications partially address IT needs,
It's because companies pushing proprietary software spend billions on advertising and marketing. They wouldn't spend all that money unless it worked.
