There's several Web based CRM solutions that are open sourced - we use 
one at solera -- however, MS has some good windows stuff as well. I'll 
dig into the versions and post where we got it from. It's ok for folks 
to use whatever they like, and not all open source apps are up standards 
or are secure.
