The one weak point in several of the price comparisons that
I have seen sofar is that they tend to compare
NT on Intel
versus
Linux on S/390
which is not quite the same as
Linux on Intel
versus
Linux on S/390
Note that NT on Intel quite possibly requires more boxes,
and hence more software licenses and more personel than
Linux on Intel.
Thus, the more interesting comparison to me seems to be
Linux on Intel vs Linux on S/390.
Unless, of course, the aim is to sell Linux on S/390...
