Open Magazine - Your strategic guide to Open Source 
http://www.open-mag.com/cgi-bin/opencgi/email/redirect.cgi?Open730

Seminar after seminar, the question is posed and distributed for 
learned updates: When will a world of applications built on Open Source 
finally dominate the business landscape? And week after week, there are 
interesting new office software entrants to be discovered, but in various 
stages of development. 

So now we track the real deal. Real as in ready for business use and 
real as in satisfied customers exist. Two promising contenders are in 
this week’s spotlight: Compiere, for ERP/CRM application seekers and 
SQL-Ledger, for SMBs looking for affordable, out of the box accounting 
systems quicker than they can say Intuit.

And remember to send a copy to your friends mired in proprietary 
systems.
