Is it just me, or does the only thing the article really say is "Don't use Linux if you have a Windows app you rely on"? They don't provide any numbers that I can tell related to what a "high" migration cost is. Further, right at the end the Gartner spokesperson indicates "it is too early to determine its level of compatibility and fidelity with enterprise Excel applications and complex Word documents." If it is too early to tell, then how does one arrive at a conclusion?
