No one ever gets fired for buying IBM or Microsoft. I remember years ago I put together a plan for all opensourced, mature software on Linux hosts for my company. Would have saved us 6 figures in coats. They went with microsoft's crappy solution instead because it was Microsoft.

    What was your Boss' feedback? Why didn't he/she like your recommendation? I'm going to guess a major constraint was too many sources for software.

    Basically, if they went with IBM and it broke, its IBM's fault

    If they went open source and it broke, its our fault for picking it.
