But bigger enterprises still go for commercial products because of the vendor commitment to support them.I believe the next logical thing that can happen (or probably should happen) will be establishment of professional support mechanisms. Obviously support on a ongoing basis involves cost in terms of money and time(effort).so it is a good opportunity for entrepreneurs to establish fee based profession support houses for open source products.Obviously open source does not always mean free in terms of price, as is wrongly understood by many.

I'm a full-time FOSS user, I don't do the coding, though I do my bit in contributing by being active at forums and filing bug reporst. My parents and my sister use FOSS back home, I convinced them to use FOSS as it suits them just fine for their needs - browsing, wordprocessing and occasional movie/music.

It's just like you need not be a pilot to travel in an aircraft! The concept behind open source is not new. For centuries, universities and research communities have shared their work. Monks copied books by hand. Scientists publish new discoveries in journals. Mathematical formulas are distributed, improved, redistributed. And it's not like you should always think about open source. It's an alternative to the biased closed source. It is something that has forced big guns like Sun and Microsoft to get into open source development now!
