Well, this is the age-old issue (amusingly) with "non-proprietary" vs 
commercial products. There's no vendor driving the non-proprietary product to 
be available on the platform like there is with a commercial product. In other 
words, when you work with a "pay to play" vendor, you're going to have better 
support and (sometimes) greater compatibility because that vendor is pushing 
for platform-adoption, whereas open-source projects often don't have that same 
level of "drive" associated with them.

Sometimes the "free software freedom" offers a lot of pros, but it's important 
to remember that it can sometimes bite ya on the ass, too. :-)

Cheers,
D
