Open Source And IT Outsourcers

,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion - The first chapter was the relatively long process of building a 
| grass roots movement to embrace Open Source.  The second chapter was largely 
| about big companies selectively co-opting elements of Open Source in an 
| attempt to commoditize competitors' products (IBM's masterful embrace of 
| Linux as a way to kill off Windows NT's march into the glass house comes to 
| mind).  The third chapter, our current place in the story, is characterized 
| by the rapid growth and financial viability of Open Source companies combined 
| with a competitive response from some of the same proprietary software firms 
| that now belatedly realize they have created a monster.
