Um no... my point was ...
Whilst we are discussing it here. I am out delivering it. Im educating
the users and shouting from the rooftops that Open Source Software (
GNU/Linux ) is better for business and delivers real world answers.
Some members of the group have accused me of being a Snake Oil Salesman.
But I would put it to the group. Which works better delivering Linux to
the SME market ?
Be an Apologist and quietly accept that MS may have a valid alternative.
or
Know your business is founded on the belief that Open Source is the best
answer to your customers requirements.
I have not changed so many hearts and minds as when I stopped apologising
and started proselytizing.
So my point:
Whilst Discussions raged and opinions swayed. I Delivered against all
belief.
