Open Source Network Management Beats IBM and HP

It was a pleasant surprise to see an open source project, OpenNMS, win the Gold in their Network and IT Management Platforms category. OpenNMS beat out the established players of Hewlett-Packard's OpenView and IBM's Tivoli. This was based on a user survey of all IT solutions, not just open source; it demonstrates that open source software is indeed making inroads into the enterprise."

    I explicitly stated that one really has nothing to do with the other, but I guess reading the comment is too much work. People who cannot tell the difference between "yours" and "your's" automatically lose credibility with me, but the idiots who can't read a comment before replying have none to lose.

    See if you can follow this logic: a corporation (or other entity) that hires (or otherwise employs) incompetents in one area is likely to do so in another.
