   The thing is, expertise in a non-proprietary product is not confined to   
   the company that makes that product. There is plenty of Open Source   
   expertise available in the community that you can hire. If you rely on an   
   outside company, particularly a large one, you know that inevitably their   
   interests align with their shareholders, and sooner or later will come   
   into conflict with yours (as happens with Microsoft, for example). If you   
   rely on your own employees, that can’t happen.
