(OSS != theBest()) (Score 1)

OSS does not guarantee that you get the best software. I appreciate the argument that "if it doesn't meet your needs, you can modify it." Who does that? And do you scour source code and verify that it's doing things in the most secure manner possible? Blah, blah, blah. Use open source where it's prime-time: Server OS, Web server, LDAP, SMTP, *maybe* Java app server, database server. But buy a freakin' copy of quick books and move on.
