I can actually see this happening.
Obviously a fortune 500 CEO does not know jack about IT. But someone has raised the alarm on the price hike and presented a few possible solutions, that have reached all the way to the board.

He is in fact a big fan of Neo4j, and gets really frustrated when he talk to software architects/developers that have never heard about neo4j or graph databases. He also knows about Linux and license free virtualization. But making a move requires people, and people with Linux knowledge are very rare.
