If You Are the Parade Organizer, Never Ask the Guys with the Brooms How Many Elephants They Would Like in a Parade.

I thought 'IT pros' favor less hassle, less maintanance headaches, less compatibility issues w/their hardware? Help me out, wouldn't a stable system be the most favorable IT solution? Open systems sound less stable. How many elephants they want in the parade?

"Arguably, the biggest advantage that the Streak has over the iPad as a tablet for business professionals is the operating system. The iPhone OS is a proprietary, tightly-controlled platform, while Android is an open source OS. There are pros and cons to each approach, but for IT administrators and business professionals the pros heavily favor the openness of Android."
