We're all free to make the calculation that makes sense for us. Not everyone wants to sacrifice everything for profit, and this is a viable tactic.

So.. not gonna read the response where I point out it has less to do with "profit" and more to do with the people who actually do the work for a company?

Good chat.

Well I agree with that part, when I'm saying using open source vs proprietary, I'm not proposing companies use alpha software in production. I was thinking more along the lines of avoiding MS Exchange in favor of of Postfix/Dovecot/CalDAV even though Exchange is arguably superior at managing one's emails and appointments.
