Effective immediately: employees will not be allowed to drink tap water, because it's free. Company policy mandates that only Coca-Cola and other commercially-bottled beverages are permitted. Personal preferences are of no account in this, as it is a matter of company policy. I feel fortunate to work for a company where solutions based on open-source are seen as more desirable than shrinkwrapped commercial software. We use both, but we won't deploy a commercial product unless we're sure that no comparable open-source alternative exists. And it's not just a case of 'making do' with an open-source system because we can't afford commercial: many open-source solutions are of exceptional quality, both in terms of performance, reliability and ease-of-use. Overall, I think we're more satisfied with the open-source solutions we use than the commercial products. Open-source is a smart business's secret weapon. Angus
