Hmm. I suspect you havent yet run into the brickwall of closed 
software / hardware and dead Company as yet. Keep some ice handy and 
lock away all the guns - u might just want to blow your head.

Like the poor idiot IT manager whose recommended access control system 
with some closed software, wierd hardware and 10000 employee data 
crashed and had to be junked. He's in Assam on a punishment posting 
haveing barely managed to retain his job.

what you daftly consider to be idealism is actually basic managment 
principle. Think deeply. Dont be swayed by the half brain ads, 
reports and studies bandied about by X perts and so very visible in 
the press. Every time someone uses closed software it's a bullet 
flying in your direction.
