What I find interesting is that Linux started out touting price / free / low / whatever. Now, the costs are the same as Microsoft. Linux still touts price but that really isn't a strong argument anymore. Shouldn't linux start touting stability and security as its pricing becomes more commercialized?
Linux said this, Linux said that. Who's Linux?
I appreciate your comments, but don't forget that there are lots of different people and companies involved with Linux with completely different philosophies.
I was intentionally generalizing. Am I wrong to state that the main argument that the majority of people put forth for linux is price?
I can't think of any distributions that have been promoting the fact that they are more expensive than Unix/Microsoft. In fact, everyone throws a fit when a TCO study comes out showing linux to be more than other alternatives.
