The interesting thing about this is that MS compared Linux on zSeries to Windows on a PC, to come up with a factor of 10 (in favor of MS) for cost. Far be it from me to point out that Microsoft is doing my work for me, but I wouldn't even begin to consider a zSeries consolidation play that didn't consolidate substantially more than 10 Intel boxes--at which point, Microsoft itself says that Linux on zSeries is cheaper. Heh. (Yes, there are also good reasons *not* related to consolidation to go with zSeries, but those play to things like reliability of the environment, in which case, the cost will be much more enterprise-specific, since the cost of downtime varies wildly by what the machine is doing.)
