Your Open Source Plan
Quote: "The open-source movement is helping turn significant chunks of the IT infrastructure into commodities by offering free alternatives to proprietary software. The promise of the past several years has begun to materialize as one by one the hurdles to open-source adoption have dropped away. Major enterprises are running mission-critical functions on open-source IT. Big vendors have lined up to support it or port their applications to it."
Comment: This article focuses mainly on the cost benefit of open source (strange how you'd find that in CIO...:))...overlooking some of the philosophical principles (and some would argue - greater functionality). Still...a good article - worth the read.
