There are however some certain facts:
- Open source costs less but takes longer.
- Non opensource is generally better rounded off - better interface, help files etc
- In open source the possibilities are endless... where the imagination ends, open source carries on!
There are probably more to this and I will add as I go along, but its also probably safe to say that if we are going to do open source we need to go all out open source... Learn python, use open source OS, go to open source conferences, believe in open source, have patience in open source, share... It is probably all equal in the end... with open source having slightly more pure motives from a moral point of view, but all things have their time and place.
