Why would this be relevant?

The thing is, eToys didn't "switch" from anything, so how could you reasonably say how much money was saved? Companies like IBM will be glad to take as much money as you will give them, so you could say we saved 300 million dollars, but it wouldn't mean much. I think what you're looking for is what Craig McLane (of Ticketmaster.com) does in his talks at conferences, where he discusses how much they save by using open source.
