Sorry? For what? Every "Total Cost of Operation" (TCO) analysis I have studied form the Windows camp, (including those funded by the windows camp) has shown Windows to provide the lowest TCO.
Every TCO I have studied form the Linux camp has shown Linux to be lowest. Could it be, "Figures never lie but liars often figure". Author Unknown Further, it has been said: "Where interest lies, honor dies". My own experience analyzing "ROI" and "Pay Back" is: Let me control the assumptions and I can give you any number you want. Probably the most important TCO's are those with no interest in either camp. These are the truth seekers. So far, I have found no TCO, by a truly independent source, showing Windows the winner. Look carefully at the above line. It is a marketing statement. It is designed imply, and to allow you to infer, something more than is true. The truth is, I have only found one TCO (on this subject) from a truth seeker. And, I didn't totally agree with all the assumptions implied therein. The marketing professionals continue to spin there tales and the sheep continue to follow. ---- Origional Message ---- Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2003 15:27:20 +0800 From: Rudhuwan Abu Bakar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: MIMOS Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] Can I share this and get your comments? http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2002/dec02/12-17TCOstudy.asp Sorry. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
