Hah. Because we're a big bureacratic organisation, we use a lot of commercial enterprise quality software. This simply means that you pay lots of money for a poorly tested, poorly designed product with no community behind it, and no real help from the venduh.

Reminds me of a monastery thread recently where the general sentiment was Debian on whiteboxen beats RHEL on HP because "I waste less time talking to them before having to fix the problem myself."
