[FOSS] How does one respond to this line of questioning?

[Bruce Labitt]

Had an interesting conversation this evening.  A snipped 
version basically was:

op: You like to use a lot of Open Source Software don't 
you?  Don't you know it is not 'standard' here?

me: Hmm.  What part of free, efficient and fast don't you 
care for?

op: (no answer)


How do list members respond to this line of questioning?  
(Yes the conversation went on, but it was merely an 
unfruitful elaboration of my answer.)

I don't need to be sold on FOSS.  In general, I find FOSS to 
be incredibly useful.  I use it whenever I can.  It isn't 
always *the best* solution, but most (nearly all) times it 
is more than good enough.  (If appropriate, I make an 
attempt to help the 'community'.)

Why do many large organizations tend to resist FOSS?  Discuss.
