Re: More Linux Desktop news. This is great.
how you get what you pay for:

What many of the posters here seem to miss is that organizations that adopt technology are usually looking for someone to guarantee that technology, or at least support it.

his doesn't imply they won't use open source, but at the end of the day they expect somebody to support it (except in the rare case they decide to own it themselves).

When you roll that into the equation open source != free.
