The risk of choosing an albatross for an information technology solution is increased in the OSS area. Sure, we have seen some very overpopularized examples (Apache/Linux) but IBM and Microsoft have, for the most part, withstood the test of time. If I'm a CIO and my Microsoft product flakes, I know that this company has resources beyond my imagination and in the end, they will make the product work (though maybe requiring more time and idiots).
I love the OSS movement, too, but the establishment isn't going to vanish quite yet.
OSS is going to need more demonstrable successes.
