Open Source And IT Outsourcers
,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion - The first chapter was the relatively long process of building a
| grass roots movement to embrace Open Source. The second chapter was largely
| about big companies selectively co-opting elements of Open Source in an
| attempt to commoditize competitors' products (IBM's masterful embrace of
| Linux as a way to kill off Windows NT's march into the glass house comes to
| mind). The third chapter, our current place in the story, is characterized
| by the rapid growth and financial viability of Open Source companies combined
| with a competitive response from some of the same proprietary software firms
| that now belatedly realize they have created a monster.
