,----[ Quote ]
| A focus on innovation, rather than cost, also enables users to
| avoid "fruitless debates about the five-year TCO of Microsoft and
| Linux" added Sparkes, noting that "really the movement is from proprietary
| to open source. What open source does give you that proprietary software
| can't is this potential for innovation."

| NASDAQ: The customer is designing your services, products and even
| platforms. The fear is that of missing the accidental innovation. The
| notion of, "Oh, it has applications somewhere else?" We are trying to
| nurture this mindset within the culture.
