New OSS Doomed In Enterprise?

Rob wrote to mention a Computer Business Review Online article which posits that immature open source software is doomed in an enterprise environment nowadays. From the article: "Open-source startups and relative newcomers must target a new breed of CIOs, which Graf dubs chief process innovation officers. Rather than old-school CIOs who focus on a company's data management, these guys design processes with the company's network. "If you want to become strategic to the company, you need to deal with business processors. 'The key question for open source is, Which open source technologies are mature enough to survive the consolidation that's coming?' Graf said. 'Linux? Definitely. Eclipse? Definitely. Mozilla? Most likely.'"

Eclipse? by gregarican · 2006-02-16 03:43 · Score: -1, Offtopic

A very flexible and useful tool with all of the available plug-ins. Everything from Ruby to Python to J2ME can be coded using it. A little OT, but why the check does the app consume 75-85 MB of RAM just sitting there idle when it's first launched? The slow and bloated camp of Java haters must be loving that :-)
