Quoting from The Economist article noted in a blog post by Matt Assay:
"Firms have since started to opt more for good-enough “cold” wares, which save them money and allow for more flexibility: commodity hardware, open-source software such as the Linux operating system and programs accessed over the internet, or “software as a service” (SaaS). ... The crisis will only speed up this shift, not least because many of the cold technologies have themselves become more mature."
