EXCERPT An Australian IT services firm has updated what it says is one of the few fully transparent studies comparing the costs of running Linux vs. Windows - and found that Linux is still cheaper.
The new study [pdf], from Melbourne-based CyberSource, found that Linux installations can be up to 36 percent cheaper to install and run over a period of three years than comparable Windows systems, though subscribing to enterprise technical support and buying new hardware and infrastructure can lower the savings to as little as 19 percent. http://www.techworld.com/opsys/news/index.cfm?NewsID=2808 So much for the "Get the Facts" campaign from Microsoft. --------------- MS marketing strategy: "Lies repeated often enough will be believed" _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list http://www.cwelug.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.firepipe.net/listinfo/cwe-lug
