Completly untrue, in fact, in many way it is exactly the opposite of that,
the open source 1.4 server has newer protocol support, more
options/features, and wider platform support as well.

Jabber, Inc.'s commercial server has better scalability, higher rate of
throughput, oracle/ldap integration, and is really targetted at large
scale enterprises and service providers.  

If you want features, flexibility, the latest protocol development and
prototyping support, and something that can be molded fairly easily into
many environments you'll find it in open source.  It's also getting better
on the scalibility and will likely improve as more people need to push it
further and can help with the development in that area.

Hmm, I think your confused, Jabber works very much like email and your
address is user at domain, not user at localmachiene.
