Unfortunately, there is a stigma associated with open source that companies like Microsoft perpetuate at every opportunity. Really, it is purely taking advantage of the lack of knowledge that most big corporate decision makers have about technology in general. In that vein, many of these big companies turn to M$, Adobe or Sun (now Oracle) for these solutions. I know a few Cold Fusion developers who love to tell me that PHP can't do what Cold Fusion can do... running on Windows Servers no less. I don't argue with them because the argument is the chicken and the egg. When someone assumes by faith that something is true you have to do alot of arguing to convince them otherwise.
