Microsoft v Open Source? Who will win..........

There are two different camps in the programming world, Microsoft supporters and open-source supporters. If you ask a representative from either camp to give you the pro’s and con’s of one versus another you should block off your calendar for the rest of the afternoon. Needless to say, each group is highly spirited in the defence of their chosen expertise.

What ConSol Partners find most often is that organizations generally stick to what they are familiar with and feel comfortable supporting. Microsoft products often have better documentation and certified professionals can be easier to find. However open-source solutions often function just as well (and sometimes better) and the upfront cost is often free or certainly less than Microsoft.
