| Linux gained a large following in part because it created a real community
| out of developers who discussed features, functions and fixes at a level of
| granularity that wasn’t possible with proprietary software. As open source
| continues to mature we may start to see similar kinds of communities emerge
| among lines of business that have their own opinions about the platforms and
| applications they will rely upon to do their jobs. Blogs and other social
| networking tools will facilitate, and amplify, those conversations. The
| sooner IT departments start listening in the better, because the day could
| come when the choices for these systems will not be theirs alone anymore.
