Eighty-five percent of companies are already using open-source software, with most of the remaining 15 percent expecting to do so within the next year, according to analysts at Gartner. However, only 31 percent of companies surveyed by the analyst house had formal policies for evaluating and procuring open-source software (OSS). Gartner conducted its survey of 274 end-user organizations across the Asia/Pacific, Europe and North American markets in May and June, and announced the results on Monday.

Because we still need the paid software like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, maybe Corel Draw ?

I know companies are using software like Linux recently and combine it with GIMP, Filezilla and so on, but some time you just cannot do it all with open source or free software.
