Another flash! Running a single Windows 2003 Server edition on a dual
900Mhz Xenon box costs less than running Linux on a z900!

The advert says that independent research from Meta group found Linux
cost ten times as much to run as its windows equivalent. It said: "The
results showed that IBM z900 mainframe running Linux is much less
capable and vastly more expensive than Windows Server 2003 as a platform
for server consolidation."

The Meta study compared the cost of Linux, running on IBM's z900
mainframe, to a Windows Server 2003 image, running on 900 MHz Intel Xeon
CPUs. The ASA concluded that it was "a comparison that demonstrated the
price and performance between IBM zSeries hardware and Intel Xeon CPUs".
