no actually you clearly stated your opinion when you said

Strauss makes a great point and it is clear that your thinking is from the corporate prespective and not from the opensource prespective. Opensource projects can take a while to mature to the poit that they become useful in corporate setting but you would in fact be being an idiot if you were suggesting that this cannot or does not happen (linux, svn, phpbb, etc...)

There are also plenty of companies out there who will provide support and custom development for those who are egar to spend a lot of money to get more peice of mind but really maybe you just need to realize that there is already a sharepoint out there for the kinds of applications that you are trying to address and to realize that all the excitment around DNN comes from the fact that MS is finally able to get a good open source project going.
