,----[ Quote ]
| In the server software marketplace, open source software and commercial 
| software often appeal to and target different customers. Typically, 
| enterprise-oriented servers are built around closed-source commercial 
| software, while open source software is marketed toward enthusiast-driven 
| organizations or smaller businesses with a strong interest in cost cutting. 
| In the messaging server segment, Microsoft Exchange has become something of a 
| de facto standard, and it, like many of its competitors, sells traditional 
| closed-source solutions.
