It may be more helpful to me if you could state the number of years of experience in which development environment. The collective experience found here is much weightier than what I can put on the table on my own. I'd like to use your opinions if you don't object to that. I've formed the analysis document into categories of "Proprietary vs. Open Source", "Windows vs. Linux", "IIS vs. Apache", "SQL Server vs. MySQL", "C# vs. PHP". Basically, it comes down to a philosophical issue, and yes, I have my development tent pitched on a free software philosophy. I'm also hesitant about taking this route to form a persuasive presentation, because as many of you already mentioned, the competency of the team along with the factor of learning curves are major determinants than other things.

We are trying to take a long view approach to deal with the sustainability of our own development team, and it's unquestionably clear that open source approach is the way to go for us given the budget and many restraints that are in place, however, there have been years of mismanagement, thus producing an untenable environment that is merely being maintained at status quo simply to avoid hurting people's feelings. Our software products are becoming more important in the overall strategy as we are growing rapidly. As someone already had also mentioned, in a university setting, there is indeed a large overhead, mostly associated with politics. Sometimes, my stomach churns when I start pondering about the amount of tax money we've burnt through simply to maintain a status quo on a crap software. All these so-called managers get away with it all, topped off posh benefits with degrees and undeserved, illusory prestige.
