Open source gets easier to install / use with time (eg Wordpress is a one click install on any standard hosting service) and it is really free for those who know to use it. The problem with open source is that there is little short term incentive to the developer. But with time I believe Open Source will be a strong option for many areas like what Khan Academy or One Laptop per Child is for education. So don't discount it!
