In this line of work, you come face to face with techno bigots of all kinds--open source bigots, macintosh bigots, etc. etc.--which is to say that these people tout their precious technologies because they believe these are superior and anyone else's technology is trash.
One thing they do not realize, though, is techno superiority (real or imagined) means very little. It does not translate to techno adoption, greater market share, greater profitability or any other measure that matters to the rest of the world. There is a minimum level of functionality that a technology must possess, afterwhich the battleground shifts to technical support, value added services, alternative pricing schemes, the availability of training, and so on. If a technology does not compete on those terms, it forget about being more than a hobbyist's fancy.
It annoys me to no end to talk to people who are intrinsically biased about certain evil empires but offer no alternative solution that comes with the same total package. And that is what matters: the total package. The technology is just part of the picture. An essential part, no doubt, but it is the totality that sells.
