Anyone actually read that TCO paper Microsoft keeps flaunting? Allegedly "independent" it is quite simply brilliant marketing - see what use microsoft are making of it: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/facts /default.mspx
Some of these alleged researchers are going to get very large Christmas hampers from Mr Gates if not their own lower TCO (lol).
There is no actuall cost breakdowns in these articles - just hype. I wouldn't trust any of this BS.
Linux doesn't fight this kind of marketing campaign so maybe it's losing out. We all know which OS is the better coded!
