"Enterprise" is "can someone else be blamed if it breaks", and
"will a company be around to provide support, rather than $PERSON", not
really "will stuff break?" and not even "is it high quality?"

Only sales men and middle management try the "it won't ever
break. ever."

Its all about how you present it. :)
