| For Hayduk, the benefits of open source software outweighed any
| challenges. "It's free," he says. "It's gotten a lot more mature in the last
| couple of years, especially the projects that have a large community behind
| them. And there's greater adaptability, and it is very easy to find people
| who know how to use it. Young people in college have gone to open source
| instead of traditional enterprise software.

,----[ Quote ]
| So today’s question is this. Is the Web evolving too fast for the licenses?
| Can licenses catch up to deal with the demands of an online world? Or will
| Web 2.0, based on open source software, remain in effect “proprietary.”

Software-as-a-service vendor stands by open source infrastructure
,----[ Quote ]
| Finch says that, while entrepreneurs may be tempted to use closed
| source technology to run their business, they should consider using
| open source. "The reality is that a lot of people are more familiar
| with Windows and they think they know what they're doing. If you're
| getting ready to roll out an infrastructure and you're thinking,
| should I go with Windows or open source, in the long run I'm
| absolutely certain that open source is going to save them money.
| They're going to find it easier to manage, easier to upgrade,
| easier to control, and less likely to get hacked."

NaviSite Hosts Microsoft-Based ISV Sandbox

| As Microsoft tries to gain traction in the SaaS and managed services
| worlds, it needs to gain credibility for its Windows SaaS business
| application powers. Salesforce.com and NetSuite rely largely on Linux
| operating systems and Oracle database infrastructure, and Salesofrce.com
| also uses Solaris. New Microsoft arch-nemesis Google, which earns its
| millions selling ads rather than its Internet search service, is also
| Linux-focused.
|
| NaviSite, a long-time hosting partner for Microsoft, Progress Software,
| Infor and other applications, also runs applications on Solaris and
| Linux infrastructure. The company is expected to offer sandboxes in
| those environments as well.
