I would find it even more interesting if the comparison had been done all the way. Now 
the people's cost is neglected, and this is the most used argument against OSS ("yes, 
closed source is more expensive in the beginning, but OSS costs more on people").

Now it just looks like a cheap blow at the "evil and bad microsoft".

Does anybody have any pointers to whole comparisons? I've already encounterd some now 
and then, and it seems that most of the times, licensed and oss seem to cost about the 
same in the end (license costs are evened out by people costs).


Thanks,
