Open Source has seen a surge already
There's already been plenty of articles released about
the up-tick in Linux server rollouts and OpenOffice
deployments to desktop environments. You're right,

higher priced licensed products start to provide a
business value/advantage over the competition. Right
now, the advantage any business has is keeping its
doors open by cost-cutting.
