Given that about 60% of business fail within the first two years (cite) and defining success can be tricky (some business are successful when they fail - tax write off), heck even defining a market is tricky (is it the consumer of your goods or the consumer of your stock), the LAMP stack is just a sidenote.
People, your staff, make or break a business. Now I'm biased and I think the LAMP stack attracts dedicated and talented people. Combining those people with negligible software acquisition costs is not a model for success but it's several less factors for failure. So I think the question you should be asking yourself is why do you think proprietary software means success?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
