Very true. Monetary cost of licensing can quickly be eaten up in learning curves for new technologies. It's not a good idea to get into open source looking for big short-term gains today. What you really want to do is compare the cost of re-tooling to open source now to the cost of trying to gain your desired robustness, scaleability, etc. within the Microsoft-defined set of solutions. In my experience, it's always been difficult to break new ground by staying under Microsoft's shadow. Freedom is not about money, it's about options.
