Pay a little now, pay a lot later

Choosing freedom or bondage isn't very important for a typical home computer user. Most people only use the software that comes bundled with their computer, and perhaps the occasional shareware game. Basically, they don't invest much in their setup beyond the original hardware purchase. Replace their PC with a Mac or a Linux box and they'd probably forget the difference after a day or so. This is not the case, though, with businesses who dedicate significant portions of their income to IT. It's often prohibitively expensive to alter a company's computing infrastructure once it's been established, so choosing well from the first day is critically important. That is one of the main reasons why I could never recommend a proprietary system to a business owner.
