The logical answer?

The logic behind sticking with you legacy kit only works if you think this current recession will reverse in the near term.

If we don't see a turnaround in short order, businesses hoping to survive on legacy infrastructures will struggle to remain competitive.

That means they will be forced to look at innovative alternatives that they can afford.

Without wanting to state the bleeding obvious, free and open source software provides the only sustainable answer in the long-term.
