Open Source E-Commerce: Twelve Promising Programs
,----[ Quote ]
| Small business owners, rejoice! Last year while the Big Three — osCommerce,
| Zen Cart, & CRE Loaded — open source commerce teams made mega-blunders or
| didn't do anything noteworthy, dozens of smaller teams were hard at work
| taking advantage. The difference between open source and proprietary became
| almost indistinguishable except to developers, with some open source programs
| now selling for more money than proprietary programs.

The enterprise value of modifying open source
,----[ Quote ]
| I spent some time with a large customer of Alfresco's today, and heard an
| interesting reason for why choosing open source was critical to them.
| Granted, it's a large media company, and so its needs may not fit those of
| most other enterprise customers.

Enterprise Open Source Thrives
,----[ Quote ]
| Not surprisingly, Linux spearheads the enterprise open source push: nearly
| half (45.6 percent) of respondents say they've deployed Linux. The venerable
| Apache Web server -- which has nearly as much brand currency as Linux
| itself -- is second in Actuate's tally, in use by about 44 percent of

Ballmer Still Searching for an Answer to Google

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
| work to do."
