> In some sense, commercial software is the devil you know. No, older, established projects or products are the devils you know, whether they're free software or proprietary products. Take for example Debian Stable which is, as its name implies, stable but seen as fairly stodgy and unexciting. Stodgy and unexciting is what you want in a business environment. The mere fact that there are far newer releases with loads of new features (and bugs) does not mean that you need to use them, just wait for the next stable release.
