If my notes are accurate from Ross' Keynote address to SHARE attendees in Seattle, mainframes account for 68% of production workloads, but only 6% of IT spend (exclusive of aggregate labor costs across platforms). Given the armies of sysadmins to support *nix and windoze platforms, I gotta believe labor costs on these platforms eclipse those of the mainframe.
