It's not a phylosophical (neither a money cost) question, Google Mobile Tracker it's about replace some virtual infraestructure with a cheaper alternative, mantaining (in the possible ways) the quality. If there are open source, not necessary free (money talking) options, we (well, not me, my bosses, I'm just one sysadmin) evaluate that and pay for it. The question about the money cost is because (as I said before) sometimes in the future the decision could be licenses or staff. And speaking about Microsoft, the licenses are not cheap (I really don't know, I'm just a sysadmin, that's what I've been told)
