"After my previous post “Cloud to boost proprietary software use?”<http://www.infoworld.com/d/open-source/will-cloud-boost-proprietary-software-use-361>, Tim Bray questioned <http://twitter.com/timbray/status/6507309372> whether the pricing comparison of *“WebSphere/SUSE vs. JBoss/RHEL on EC2 was a transient anomaly”*. JBoss’ Rich Sharples commented<http://twitter.com/richsharples/status/6510097661>that I was comparing apples and oranges. That was not my intention. I simply picked the only two application server Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) that I could easily find pricing for. And in retrospect, my intention was not to compare proprietary versus open source pricing in the cloud. But rather to compare the price differential of proprietary versus open source products in the cloud versus on-premise." <continued>
