Take this into consideration:
In 99% of OSS products you can get heaps of FREE
information and help with any way to apply this software,
just browse [email protected]
Commercial software may be more polished, may; but
when you have problems with commercial software you could be
looking at $65.00 an hour phone calls, or wait forever to get
replies to emails asking for help.

Patience, perseverence, and a 20% across-the-board reduction in the size
of developer egos in the OSS world.
ROTFL!!!
I don't know if it's so much the developers egos as the egos of whoever is
on the forums and mailing lists. OpenOffice.org is one of the best (as in,
the least amount of ego) about this - but some of the other lists and forums
I've been on - boy howdy are there some big heads out there. If you can't
code and compile your own OS in less than 30 seconds - you're not worthy of
their time.
