| Last week SandHill.com published a column by Guy Smith of Silicon

Misunderstanding open source's business potential
,----[ Quote ]
| Dan Farber has collected a range of commentary (see above) on two important
| open source business questions: namely, will open source pummel proprietary
| software vendors and does it have a long-term future? I guess I find
| these questions a bit old-fashioned because I do open source software,
| and watch open source beat proprietary software every single day. I sell
| into an increasing number and range of enterprises who view open source as
| a viable, competitive reality. I see it knocking down the doors of
| every major enterprise on this planet (and several more on Mars).
| And, importantly, I see it making a lot of money for those selling
| it.
