Big initial investment (e.g. R&D) is something that only
large companies are able to afford. The return on investment
(ROI) can be tolerated even if the product, or Web sites, or
businesses needs a few iterations to show some fruits. XBox
360 comes to mind. 4 billion in losses so far?
The migration costs might be worth it in the case of
JBoss/RHat. You just need to find the balance, taking into
consideration chance of success, costs of software,
migration/s, etc.
All in all, there is no single correct route.
Best wishes,
Roy
