,----[ Quote ]
| So why end it now? Simply put, the discussion around open source has

| of this column. Open source now casts a long shadow in enterprise IT,
| indeed. It?s no longer confined to web servers,
|
| middleware and server-room infrastructure. Today it has a place in
| enterprise applications and it?s poised to make a serious bid for
| the desktop.
