Why proprietary software is dangerous for business-critical applications
,----[ Quote ]
| But this software company said, "No, we can't give you a new registration
| for your old software. You need to upgrade to our latest version, and the
| upgrade will cost you [several thousand dollars]."
|
| But the real point here is that an entire medium-sized company's
| executive staff has learned a hard lesson about the dangers of
| proprietary software, and members of that staff who previously resisted
| open source are now ready to consider it -- and for business
| continuity reasons rather than as a money-saving measure, no less.
