I never said that. . . but that costs money does it not? The post I was replying to was basicaly saying OSS was free.

How easy is it to find someone that is proficient in these software alternatives? Yes, licensing may be cheaper, but what about the training involved, the lost productivity in trying to figure out something that is different then your average AD stack? And the kicker... support. I know my boss likes to be able to say "heh, it's broken lets call * and have the remote in and see what the hell is going on. He doesn't want to hear "hey let me jump on the public forums and hope someone knows how to fix this" Support costs dollars. . .
