Srdjan, this is interesting too: http://www.computerworlduk.com/community/blogs/index.cfm?blogid=14&entryid=1573&RSS

Ignoring the linux bias, he makes a good point that businesses of all sizes aren't willing to obey IT vendors like they used to. Nor do they seem to be in any great hurry to rewrite their old software to be compatible with the latest greatest. QED.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
