Microsoft vs. Opensource, the real story in the real world.
,----[ Quote ]
| I currently work for a very large retail chain. Already having a successful
| legacy eCommerce application written in ASP, new management came in and
| decided that to keep up with current technology and standards we needed a
| complete rewrite of our system. While I do not disagree, what happened next
| was disheartening. A new IT director came in that had bad blood with
| Microsoft and new management decided that we really should move open source
| tools and standards.

| So here I am, our company was sold to a even larger company, we are on
| the eve of a huge decision choosing our platform for our intranet sites
| and business to business sites, and the words being tossed around are
| Open Source, Weblogic, Websphere, etc. No .net to be heard. Seems to met
| hat a cost/benefit analysis that does not include Microsoft in it's
| research is flawed from the start.
