As the title suggests, an examination of some 'myths' of open source: "the attraction is the price tag; the savings aren't real; there's no support; it's a legal minefield; open source isn't for mission-critical applications; and open source isn't ready for the desktop." Do people still believe these? I like Stuard Yeates's description: "The myths of open source, as held by IT managers who believe what vendors tell them and have no technical background whatsoever."
