This is one of the biggest points that I was trying to get across and to truly find out. A lot of people seem to miss this, and you caught it. My question is directed at those that OSS is an ideological choice, and this site is designed to promote that ideology. So if this is not your ideology, and you just use Open Source where it makes more sense--then this really doesn't apply.
So thanks for this comment, I believe it really answers the question I posed in a serious way. (though I disagree, but that's my opinion)
IBM's 'Smarter Planet' ads have always been odd to me. They describe changes in how things are done in a really large, abstract way. Yet it's nice to not only hear better examples--but to hear that they use linux to do so. Cool stuff!
