>This paper provides quantitative data that, in many cases, using open
>source software / free software is a reasonable or even superior approach
>to using their proprietary competition according to various measures. This
>paper examines market share, reliability, performance, scaleability,
>security, and total cost of ownership. It also has sections on
>non-quantitative issues, unnecessary fears, and other sites providing
>related information, and ends with some conclusions.
