There is an interesting discussion taking place at Slashdot.org of a cio.com article dealing with growing resentment toward paying for poor service and buggy code. The article deals with different strategies that CIO's are adopting, including a move to open source software.

I found this quote particularly interesting, considering some of the discussions that have been taking place here over the past few days:

"Raymond Dury, co-CIO of Ameritrade Holding, says open-source software, because of its community-style development method, has flexibility that commercial software lacks."

Anyway, if you get the chance, take a look at the article and the slashdot discussion. Both good reads.
