        Subtract the cost to large companies of the requirements for  
licensing policing, legal defense, anti-virus, security breaches, ...
        
        I agree; inertia is the main reason people stick with Microsoft. The  
ones who do make the effort are the ones who have either been burned  
by security flaws or who have spent too much time dealing with  
Microsoft's legal department.
