Winemaker Drinks To Linux

An anonymous reader writes "Australian winemaker De Bortoli is a firm believer in Linux. CIO Bill Robertson says he's 'bemused by any notion that Linux is poorly supported in the enterprise since he has never had any trouble finding support for De Bortoli's open-source systems', and says that those IT managers having trouble simply 'aren't looking hard enough.' There are also some other good case studies here -- telecommuncations provider TransACT, online hotel booking service Wotif, engineering contractor Coates and investment and funds management group Aviva."

    "We looked at the technologies the big names were relying on, and realised that when IBM and Novell are all spending big in the open-source space there's gotta be something in it."
    Credibility at last.
    This article with it's 4 or 5 case studies reads like any number of the Microsoft Propoganda articles I've read before, I half expect that within an hour some slashdotter will post details about the people in the articles that demonstrate that they are really working for Linus's favorite Public relations firm. Think about it, today we get Linux license fees from Linus (yes just trademark, but $ are real) and now some wonderful case studies to encourage us to go Linux. It's all to much like an organized competitive company for me, I can't deal properly when the business novices (Open Source) acts all like a wicked organized multinational.
