I will say that while Open Source may be great for development tools, to put a company's business life in the hands of open source software doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense from a risk standpoint.

What aspect of risk are you referring to? Are you referring to the one in which I have a perpetual license to a product I bought or one that can be yanked? are you talking about the one that allows me to shop around a huge number of Linux vendors or the nice security of being tied into one company?
