Open source: Still waiting on IT

“There’s no question that enterprise IT is adopting open source
in droves. Gartner speculates that 85 percent of enterprises
already use open source. (The other 15 percent are, too, I suspect,
but the CIOs at those companies simply don’t know about the Mule,
JBoss, Postgres, etc. that is running rampant through their
halls.)

“While some governments (the U.K. most notable among them, as

proprietary software, others, like the Mongolian government, which
has moved all of its Web sites to open-source Joomla, have embraced
open source as a way to lower costs and increase vendor
independence.”
