I don't think we want to drag "you can throw alot of money at Company
X to make it work" into the argument.  Sure, you can pay Sun a bunch
of money and they'll make it all work.  Similarly, I can throw lots of
money at ActiveState and they'll make my Perl work.  Linux v
Microsoft, Oracle v MySQL, etc... all greased with the application of
lots of money on either side.

Anything can be made to look good if you have a few thousand spare
dollars around to pay for professional tech support.
