Why enterprise still cannot accept Linux.
Linux is ready for the desktop. It can handle one hundred percent of all business tasks. If you are willing to break the proprietary nipple sucking that is. Yet enterprise still pulls out the same old excuses for not adopting Linux.
The most common and easily refutable argument is accountability. Enterprises love to have some entity that they can point the finger at and say that as money has been exchanged it is the providers responsibility to fix it. In theory it is a good argument yet what enterprise refuses to believe is that the same argument can also be applied to Linux.
Maybe a few years ago that argument would have held water. In those ancient computing days, anything over five years old is ancient in computing terms, Linux developers were little more than a bunch of rebels hacking out "supposedly" second rate, caffeine and pizza fueled code that only the lee7 could use and understand. Then one, two and more companies hit upon a business model that could, and does, make money off of open source.
Linux grew and developed into what is today.
