Migration to linux may not be easy or even desirable for a given comany, but while you stress what it may cost to migrate from windows to linux, you do not seem to take into account what migrating from one version of windows to another costs.
I vividly remember the long preparation and research time when a company I worked at moved from Windows '98 to Windows NT. Had to "to audit your hardware to ensure compatibility and then repurchase anything that might be too much hassle to fiddle with" then too.
I vividly remember the nightmares some of my colleagues went through when migration from NT to 2000 (I was on working on a UNIX project then). And do you remember the mix of proprietary workstations many companies used before Windows? They managed to migrate away from those too.
Just want to point out that running Windows also requires you to migrate and plan ahead and invest.
