    It's perfectly legitimate to discriminate by one of those. Hint: it's the one you can change.

    What I am saying is a sampling of high-end Android users here shows DELIGHT in not paying for apps.

    You're trying to draw conclusions from slashdot posts? Really? It's a proven fact that 37% of them lie at least half the time and 10% lie all the time.

    I wondered why big posters of them were so blurry. Clearly it's because they'd been enlarde by a factor of 2 or 3..

    It also explains why the posters became even worse after CDs came out.

    56% less than what? If it's the terrestrial average I don't see the point. Scotland gets considerably less than that and there's life there. Not sentient life, but life nonetheless.

    you have to adapt your business processes to the ERP system, not the other way around

    I hear this all the time, and I'm not convinced. Companies buy stuff. They either sell it, or use it to make something and then they sell that. They either make it when somebody orders it, or they make it in advance based on forecasts and keep it until somebody buys it. They send invoices to customers, they get invoices from suppliers. The invoices can go before the goods, or after...

    All that's there, in the standard.

    I think that 99% of the time when people say it doesn't support their business processes there's an implied "in exactly the same way we did it before, down to the tiniest detail including the colour of the post-it notes that you stick on Maisie's screen when there's a goods return."

    Out of curiosity, what OSS options are out there that offer the breadth of functionally that either SAP or Salesforce do? It's hard to use an OSS alternative when none exist.

    None. Inventory management in not fun. Production scheduling is not fun. Order tracking is boriiiing. Accounting, yawneroonie.

    Most open source developers would rather spend their time screwing up a desktop environment or inventing shit programming languages.
