Corporate users are conservative (Score -1, Insightful)

I'm fine with switching my own VPNs to Linux 2.6 or Openswan, but corporate users like to pick a vendor and stick with it, so that they don't need to pay to switch to something else and pay to train people how to use it, and so that they can count on help if needed. That's why Linux is scary to these people. To those people, stuff like this hurts Linux's credibility as an alternative system. The company I was refering to (Verano, if anyone is intersted) can probably manage a switch, expecially if Openswan is fully compatible. The people they sell to, being in the manufacturing and utilities sectors, are even more conservative. If they find out that support for some stuff they bought has been discontinued, they tend to come down pretty hard on the people they bought it from. Which can affect the bottom line.
